On Aug. 24 the Toys For Kids Golf Tournament Benefit teed off at 8:30 a.m. with a shotgun start at the Hidden Valley Lake Golf Course.

Over 70 volunteers and players came to support the Toys For Kids benefit providing toys at Christmas for unfortunate families in Lake County.

A tri-tip barbecue, donated by Congressman Mike Thompson, followed with a silent auction and raffle prizes. Congressman Mike Thompson’s wife Jan Thompson, thanked the volunteers and golfers for supporting the Toys For Kids. Jan recognized Tami Ipsen, on behalf of Congressman Mike Thompson and herself, for organizing the event with a beautiful hand-painted plate depicting Congressman Mike Thompson’s district.

Many local merchants and key sponsors supported this event and the Toys for Kids board members would like to thank, Crave, Hardester’s Market, Rahoutdoors, Twin Pines Casino, Wildhurst Vineyard, Steele Winery, Winzler and Kelly, Wagner and Bonsignore, CRWA, Gonsalves Family, Bob and Adele Curtain, Coyote Valley Construction, Mel and Connie Aust, Redwood Plumbing, Saw Shop Restaurant, Safeway and Ray's Food Place.

Over $6,000 was raised during this event! Thank you again to all who participated and volunteered!

Tami Ipsen is the administrative assistant at Hidden Valley Lake Community Services District.
