Prairie Pines Auxiliary hosted the first annual Prairie Pines Benefit Golf Tournament on September 29^th for the purpose of buying new dining room chairs for the facility. The current chairs have been in the facility since it opened and are very worn. 

The Auxiliary is delighted to report that enough money was raised to purchase the much-needed chairs. The Auxiliary would like to thank all the businesses and individuals who sponsored or donated to the cause.
