On Aug 24th, Irish Hills Council 6223 held a golf outing at Devils Lake Golf Course to raise funds for St. Louis Center and Holy Cross Services. A great time was had and there were some pretty low scores! The food was really great but even better was the fellowship! And the council was able to write checks for $3300 to both of the worthy charities so they can continue their work of caring for the needs of those that need it most.
