Spring Festival has become more
than a two-day golf tournament.
The event has become a viable
means for the golf auxiliary to
help area youngsters participate in
constructive activities, which
includes the YMCA summer
camp and the junior golf program.
"We started out as a group of
ladies who were trying to help
young people," said Alberta Har

this point, we're seeing more par
ticipation in all areas ? more
people joining our organization,
more golfers playing in the tour
nament each year and more kids
taking part in the junior golf pro
_gram,"
Harvey adds that one of the
auxiliary's goal for this year is to
expand on the organization's abil
ity to assist youngsters in the
before mentioned areas. 44 We feel
we can do more to increase the
opportunities for underpriviledged
youth," she said. In summation,
she says that more funds beings
generated by the auxiliary, means
that more youngsters will be able
to participate in the before men
tioned activities.

Auxiliary, through proceeds from
the Spring Festival and funds
from their treasury, donated a total
$2,500. Portions of those funds
were given to the YMCA, the Y's

was one of several local organiza
tions that donated $1,000 or more
