Rounding out the month was our Scholarship Fund Golf Classic, which was held at Tantallon Country Club this past Tuesday, May 28, 2007. Thanks to the hard work of Garland H. Stillwell and the Honorable Toni Clarke, Co-Chairs of the event. I am proud to announce that the monies raised from this outing will enable us to continue our tradition of awarding scholarships to area law school students at our banquet in November. Thanks to all the volunteers and golf participants. Congratulations to our own Judge El-Amin and his team for their 2nd place finish, followed closely by Past President William Snoddy's team in 3rd place.

Stacey was also part of a foursome with Garland Stillwell, Denise Adah and Charles McNair that earned second place in the “par” flight.
