The morning began with golf and tennis registrations with pastries and coffee provided by Starbucks.  Lunch was provided to all by Sara Lee which was followed by the afternoon registration.  An awards ceremony featuring a catered appetizer reception by the Eldorado Country Club and HOOTERS hot wings helped to end the day, along with several exciting raffles.

  

The Samaritan Inn and the CCCoA are both grateful for the very generous donation provided by the event and wish the Collin County Wal«Marts the same luck next year!

Move Over, Mrs. Markham is a madcap, crazy Brit Com filled with twists and turns. Directed by Pamela Harden. Production dates, July 11, 12, 13, 18, 19, at 8:00 p.m., July 20, at 2:00 p.m. Benifitting the Samaritan Inn.
