The Crossville Knights of Columbus and Tournament Co-Chairmen Rollie Wicker and Mike Wilkiel want to thank each participant in this event for their support.  We are grateful to all the volunteers.  Our tournament would not be a success without the help of all the players, volunteers and businesses.  Our motto for this event, "You Do Make a Difference" meant so much this year.

Please keep next June 15th, 2011, open for the Knights of Columbus 19th Annual Charity Golf Tournament.
