Chamber to host golf tournament
The 37th annual Campbell Chamber of Commerce Golf Tournament is planned for 12:30 p.m. Aug. 2, at Cinnabar Hills Golf Club, 23600 McKean Road, in San Jose. The tournament fee is $175 per player, but chamber employees say there are already 144 people signed up to play, so they can allow only a maximum of eight more tickets to be sold.
Participants will get golf carts, barbecue lunches, dinners, tee prizes, raffle prizes and special discounts. Some of the special prizes include cash for anyone who gets a hole in one and four tickets to the CordeValle Golf Club in San Jose. Proceeds will go toward supporting the Chamber of Commerce and the Campbell Education Foundation. For more information, call the Chamber at 408.378.6252.
