Valley benefit golf tourneys set

 

Every spring and summer, there’s an array of golfing benefit tournaments and fundraising events for being held, and they continue with two of the older tourneys on the horizon.

The Sonoma Valley Rotary Club’s 20th annual Louis Minelli Memorial Golf Tournament will take place on Friday, Aug. 26, at the Eagle Vines Golf Club in Napa, with this year’s event being held in memory of longtime member Bob Bohna.

The tourney opens with a noon shotgun start, and the cost is $175 a golfer, which includes green fees and cart, a box lunch, on-course beverages, long-drive hole and closest-to-the-pin contests, tee-prizes and the chance to win a new Chevy Camero.

In addition, Festa Sonoma will take place afterward at the Sonoma Valley Veterans Memorial Building and features a six-course Tuscan-inspired dinner including wine, beer and dancing to the sound of BackTrax.

Entry to Festa Sonoma is included in the golf entry, and the cost to attend the dinner only is $55 in advance or $65 at the door. For more information visit www.sonomavalleyrotary.org, www.festasonoma.com or call 996-9694.
