Kiwanis and Lake San Marcos to Salute Heroes at Golf Tournament
Saturday, June 19, will be a big day in Lake San Marcos. The Kiwanis Club, the Country Club, and the Men's and Women's Golf Clubs are teaming up to "Salute Our Heroes" with a golf tournament in tribute to the Camp Pendleton-based Marine and Navy men and women.

All the day's military participants and their spouses/guests will be joining the members, sponsors/supporters and guests for a fun evening of dinner, entertainment, presentations of prizes and awards to the Military personnel.

Make checks payable to IMSFF, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
Other donations can include gift certificates for your product or service, or cash to be used to purchase gifts or sponsor a Marine and wife to dinner. Tee signs and banners appropriately recognize multiple levels of sponsorship. Make checks for these items payable to LSM Kiwanis Foundation (also a 501(C)(3) non-profit organization.
