The very generous members had a lot of fun on the course and at the following luncheon, resulting in a fantastic donation of $3000 to our wonderful organization. Lakelands Golf Club has now raised and donated over $8000 to APRDA over the past three years and it goes without saying that their overwhelming support is a highlight of our fundraising activities. Members understand and appreciate the work we do and are very interested in our cause and the opportunities we provide to those less fortunate than ourselves. We would like to once again extend our sincere thanks to all members and to President Jim Moores, Michael Parisi and the entire team for organising such a wonderful day.” Left to right: Jim Moores, Ross Barker (APRDA), Michael Parisi.
