Celebrating a Legacy of Service
In 2018, our Golf Classic was renamed in honor of Jeff Ritchie, long-time volunteer and advocate for our Club. For nearly 12 years, Jeff consistently showed his commitment to youth in our community, driving positive change for our kids and teens as a member and chairman of our Board of Directors, leading the Golf Committee for several years as co-chair, supporting countless special events and initiatives at the Club, and so much more.
