Better community.  Check.  Fun.  Check.  Golf at White Horse.  Check.  Great time with friends.  Check.  All the boxes are checked.  All that’s needed is you - and your friends - to play in the 11th-annual Swing For Rotary Golf Tournament, June 16.   Note:  We’ve checked with Mother - Nature that is - and she’s checking another box - dry.  So, get out your driver, get online, and get your group registered before it’s too late. Only a few entries are still available.   Go to:  www.knkrotarygolf.net
Each golfer will contribute $150, but here’s what they’ll get:  gift bag on check-in, filled with a first-rate Antigua golf shirt, CB’s Nuts, treats from Borrowed Kitchen Bakery; a tasty boxed lunch; silent auction tables full of prized items to be bid on throughout the day via Text2Bid on cell phones; raffle for a full Rotary wine cooler; unlimited practice range balls; a chance to win in the putting contest; 18-holes of White Horse golf, and a chance to win a car with a hole-in-one; dinner overlooking the Olympics and a beautiful golf course; awards and a live auction.  All for only $150.  If that isn’t value, Warren Buffet is not an investor.  Dinner tickets are available for $35 at our website, or at the door.  Registering for you and your team is as easy as Amazon Prime.  The site, once again is:  www.knkrotarygolf.net

The winners in the tournament will be golfers, yes.  However, Kingston North Kitsap Rotary does this to benefit it’s community causes, who’s winners include Kingston High School scholarships, Food4Kids in North Kitsap, purchase of an electronic reader-board in Kingston, and Village Green Foundation.   
Kingston North Kitsap Rotarians give almost 5,000 hours to bettering our community each year.  Immediately on the heels of the golf tournament, they are busy organizing the Kingston 4th of July Fun Run.  With old fashioned fun for the whole family on the 4th of July, there will be a 5k, 10k, and 1-mile kid dash.  New this year, Rotarians are partnering with Kingston High School Athletics Boosters to make the run better than ever.  For information, and to register, go to: www.kingstonrunning.net.
