Tidings

There were clear blue, sunny skies with a gentle northwest breeze, temperature in the 70s, and The Links at Gettysburg was in pristine condition for the Bishop's Cup golf tournament on Monday, June 13, 2011.

Bishop's Cup Golf Tournament

48 players (12 teams) from several parishes contended for the Bishop's Cup trophy in its annual tournament. Host team was Prince of Peace, Gettysburg organized by John Stevenson and Mark Wivell. For the second year in succession, Prince of Peace again won the trophy with a score of 63 and the honor of staging next year's tournament which will be held on Monday, June 11, 2012 at The Links at Gettysburg. The runnerup team was from St. James, Lancaster with a score of 66.

Heartfelt thanks to all our sponsors. Without their support and the help of many people, the tournament would not have been the success it was. Net proceeds to date in the amount of $2,390.06 were presented to the Bishop at Council of Trustees meeting on June 16th. Half of the monies will be directed to Children & Youth Scholarships with the remainder to the Bishop's Discretionary Fund to aid those in dire need in these troubling economic times.
