Maybe that's not for you? Then perhaps you could help out at the annual Golden Valley Golf Classic. The Classic is a main fundraiser for the Golden Human Services Fund, which helps serve area residents in times of need. Each year volunteers are needed to help ensure that all aspects of the tournament run smoothly.

The Classic is Friday, July 12 at Brookview Golf Course. Volunteers are needed from 6:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. depending on responsibilities. Volunteers will receive assignments when they report for duty.

The city needs volunteers with the ability to work with public and the desire to help with an event where the proceeds go to organizations that help needy Golden Valley residents.

The Golf Classic volunteer positions available are greeters and registration attesters, tournament scorer, refreshments helper, photographer and clean up crews. All positions report to Jeanne Fackler, Recreation Coordinator and staff liaison to the Golden Valley Human Services Fund.
