Swinging for the fences

The annual Florida League Celebrity Golf Tournament, presented by UBS Private Wealth, took place Nov. 11 and proved to be a continued success. The tournament, now in its sixth year, fielded 28 five-somes, as well as top Major League Baseball celebrities with a combined 191 years of MLB service, 851 home runs, 4,940 strike outs, 15 All-Star appearances, six first round picks, three Silver Sluggers, five World Series titles, and one Cy Young Award. The tournament was once again played at the prestigious Interlachen Country Club in Winter Park. All proceeds throughout the weekend benefited the Florida Collegiate Summer League, which is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

Readers thank Rollins

Earlier this year, Rollins College, on behalf of the Olin library staff and faculty, presented Fern Creek Elementary School with a check for $3,000 to purchase non-fiction books for its school library. The elementary school recently purchased the books. The money for the donation came when the Rollins’ Olin Library was presented with the 2013 Excellence in Academic Libraries Award in the college category from Association of College and Research Libraries.
