ONSF in conjunction with Greenwich Hospital held its 7th Annual Golf Outing on Monday, June 8th at The Stanwich Club. It was an ideal day for golf – sunny with a light breeze and the course played beautifully. Following the tournament, the 96 golfers were joined by an additional 70 non-golfing friends and other supporters at a cocktail reception, auction and dinner.
