Members of the Elite Ladies Golf League of Youngstown, Ohio, teed up with nearly 70 other golfers at the Old Avalon Golf Course on Friday, September 6. They were golf ready to support ACTION (the Alliance for Congregational Transformation Influencing Our Neighborhoods). ACTION has been servicing the Mahoning Valley for 25 years, promoting economic development, food security, safer communities, racial justice, and education.
This was ACTION’s 5th Annual Charity Golf Tournament. Executive Director Elder Rosetta Carter noted this year’s proceeds would benefit ACTION’s mobile food market. A mobile market currently services hundreds of locations in the Mahoning Valley. ACTION will soon launch another mobile market in Trumbull county.
This year enough women golfers came out to create the first women’s flight for the event. ELGL members joined almost 20 women from other leagues who came out to enjoy a day of fun and fellowship for a worthy cause. For more information visit https://www.facebook.com/groups/118751512153
