Second Annual Golf
for Greenhorns Event |
|
The Zonta Club of New Rochelle sponsored their Second Annual Golf for Greenhorns Event on Saturday, September 15th, 2007 at 10:00 AM. The event took place at the Dunwoodie Golf Course in Yonkers, N.Y. Participants took part in a golf clinic, received golf shirts and enjoyed a luncheon. Golf for Greenhorns raised over $1500 top support Desda's Grate: a home for homeless women and their children located in New Rochelle. Desda's Gate was founded by our member Sister Mary Alice Hannan OP. News Channel 12 served as our program sponsor for the second year in a row. The goal of the tournament was to introduce people of all ages to golf. Our youngest participant was only three years old. We had five teenagers: two from Cristo Rey NY High School; and two college women, Vanessa Kemp of Fordham University, and Amielle Parker of Barnard College. We are particularly interested in encouraging young women to learn the sport as a means of advancing themselves in the world of work. Our guest speaker was the Honorable Janet Jordan, a magistrate with the Westchester County Courts, who gave the keynote address on her work enforcing parental support in the legal system. |
