By EMILY HANSON With a full field of golf- ers, dinner served to over 200 people and an undis- closed amount of money raised through the silent and live auctions, the first Love In the Name of Christ (Love INC) fundralser on Monday, July 18 was de- clared a success. =We had quite a suc- cessful day," Bill Kendrick, chairman of the golf com- mittee, said. =Everybody seemed to have a good time." Celebrity golfers Pat Boone and Don James made an impression on the crowd, with Boone perform- ing a few songs and James giving his optimistic opin- ion of this year's University of Washington football sea- son. Before the tournament, each explained their rea- sons for why they believe the community should be- come involved in Love INC. "I would tell the commu- nity to give back," James said. "That's the key thing. Think in terms of all the things you're getting and what you can do to help others." Boone explained that he's been saying for years that if the local churches did everything they could to help the community this country would not need so much government bu- reacracy. =This country is awash in red ink and I think the answer is Love INC," he quipped.
