SFX Golf Outing
Friday September 13th was a beautiful day for golf! The 2019 SFX Golf Outing was a great success! Big thank you to the 2019 Golf Outing Chairs Julie & John Schaff with co-chairs Sandy & Jeremy Toczylowski. A great time was had by all... and yes it was just a coincidence that the SFX First Grade Dads were assigned to cart #1A !
