    Organization Highlights, By Steve Mallory

    Steve reports on an exciting September. First he reports on the Annual Golf Fundraiser held at the first of the month. Then The Stroke Network was invited to have a booth at a Resource Fair in Harford County, MD.

    All members are invited to set up a booth at local events. Finally, he explains Goodsearch, a search engine which donates to not-for-profit organizations when a search is made.
