Today I have the opportunity to share a positive story! As some of you know, Ruben Moore Jr. and I have been a team for a long time, First as partners & co-founders of QC United, a nonprofit, and then eventually, partners in life. This year, on June 20th, we celebrated the 25th Anniversary of the "Swing into Education" Golf Tournament and Scholarship Program that was established by Ruben 25 years ago. Even though we have been doing this for many years now, that doesn't mean that our planning and experience always results in a perfect experience. We started this year's tournament with heavy rain, then we powered through heat and high winds, and to top it off, we were forced at the last minute to change our dinner location due to a computer scheduling glitch that resulted in a double booking. Despite our challenges this year, our golfers and our sponsors were absolutely wonderful. There were lots of laughs and the food by Famous Dave's BBQ and the prizes were very well-received. We are very appreciative of the many sponsors and golfers who helped make this 25th Anniversary tournament a success. This year, we have the privilege of thanking the Bribriesco Law Firm for being our top tier Platinum Sponsor. We also are very fortunate to have the support of several generous Gold Sponsors; Bob Sanders, in honor of Steve and Melinda Overton, The Davenport Morning Optimists, Arconic, The Iowa Water Company, Famous Dave's BBQ, The Davenport Police Department and Union and the Royal Neighbor's Chapter, 20046. We have too many dedicated volunteers and loyal golfers to count. We can't say "Thank You" enough!
