Thendara Golf Club played host to the Second Annual Kinderwood Classic Golf Tournament on Monday, August 1.
This year’s golf tournament and auction was dedicated to the memory of Lorraine Stripp who passed away on Sunday, July 31, 2011. Lorraine had been a Kinderwood instructor since 1980.
“Lorraine had a special way with children, and all of the kids loved her. You could always count on her to be there with a smile, and her peanut butter cookies,” said Kinderwood Director Page Hannah.
