The program for this week was a review and discussion of Mission 10 conducted by Bill Tiffany. This year will be 40th Annual Mission 10, and Bill suggested we start planning now for getting sponsors and even preparation. This even raised over $38,000 this year for our club and all the money goes to scholarships. Will Sutton, who head sponsors this year, asks that 3 people volunteer for working on sponsors with a target or raising $25,000 or more from sponsors. We also need someone to be responsible for the course monitors for this year. Mission 10 committee meetings are open for all to attend and Bill Tiffany will announce meeting dates and times. The date for this Mission 10 is January 27, 2024.
