Eastern Region
 Credit for the successful event goes to Tournament Committee members, Brothers Dale H. Fera, Sr., William J. Greet and LeRoy O. McClelland, as well as Masonic Village staff Joyce F. Michelfelder and Carol Wolfinger. In addition, Bro. Bill Melnyk lent his professional skills as a bagpiper, to the enjoyment of the crowd. More than a dozen residents from the Masonic Village at Lafayette Hill also volunteered their time to assist with the set-up of the auction, act as "hole monitors" and help to stuff the goodie bags. Although it's early, it is estimated that the net proceeds will be in excess of $20,000 to benefit special projects at the Masonic Villages at Lafayette hill and Warminster. Central Region

year's tournament for the second year in a row
