Join us on October 15th on Berry Creek’s beautiful 18-hole championship golf course and enjoy lunch, a great day of golf, dinner, a raffle and fabulous prizes. Proceeds from the tournament will enable Family Eldercare to provide services to seniors, adults with disabilities and caregivers, which will allow them to live independently for as long as possible.  Contact Krystal Wilson (kwilson@familyeldercare.org) or 512-483-3557 with questions or to register.
