Summer Golf ClassicHello Everyone,
I have scheduled a meeting with the GM and Head and Assistant Golf Professional at Desert Island Country Club to discuss the possibility of hosting the 2023 Summer Golf Classic at their beautiful venue. We will also evaluate what went well and the areas we can improve on for next year. I welcome your feedback regarding this year's event as well. I wish to share a significant update regarding St. Jude from my meeting with Odette Gutierrez... "It was announced earlier this month in the journal Nature Communications that St. Jude scientists have developed a computational tool that could help identify whey some people are prone to rare diseases, from multiple cancers to neurodegenerative diseases like ALS. Identifying the genetic variants that contribute to rare diseases may increase understanding disease development. This is all very exciting because that tool may offer potential new avenues for therapy. Therapies that will save more lives everywhere, because of the efforts of St. Jude to freely share development with researchers around the world". Again, I am extremely appreciative of everyone's generosity and commitment in supporting St Jude Children's Research Hospital. Special thanks to the entire staff at Desert Island Country Club and to Babe's BBQ and Brewery for their refreshing beverages. I also appreciate the hard work and effort from all our volunteers: Sarah Russell and Lisa Ibay (Registration), Yolanda Vasquez, Laura Van Malsen and Angela Frost (50/50 Board, Opportunity Tickets and Silent Auction), Elias Ibay (Grandpa's Assistant), Jason Galarze and Alberto & Nataniel Rendon-Santiago (Logistics), Kurt and Patsy Bauman (Hole in One Witnesses), Joe Zorn (Photographer) and last but not least... Beto Arteaga (Drone Video & Shot Tracer Engineer and Website Director). If you have any questions, please call my cell phone (760) 774-3233. Thank You! Rich Ibay
