3rd Annual WPF Golf Outing
While there were some die-hard souls that stood up to the high winds and cool temps blowing in from Lake Michigan....
the fair weather golfers decided to head inside and trade in their golf clubs for bowling balls. As you can see we had
a great time at the first annual "rain date" alternative to golf.
Don’t worry you can always join in next year for golf if the weather is nice and bowling if it isn't. |
