June 8 was an excellent day for Teeing it High and Letting it Fly!
RAHB members, supporters and tournament sponsors turned out to enjoy a day of golf and prizes at the annual Charity Golf Tournament at Copetown Woods Golf Club. The weather cooperated and made for a perfect day for a round of golf!

Thanks to the golfers, sponsors and donors who supported the tournament and helped make it a great day!
