As students grab their backpacks and head back to school, the Community Services Agency is inviting local unions and their supporters to grab their golf bags and enjoy the last of the warm weather at its 23rd Annual Golf Tournament, scheduled for September 24 at the all-union Enterprise Golf Course.

Proceeds from the tournament will benefit CSA's Emergency Assistance Fund, which provided local union families facing hardship with over $1000 in the last week alone.
