Following a successful Charity Golf Tournament.
The Annual Wente Vineyards – Arion Wine Company and Papiamento Restaurant Golf Tournament concluded successfully with a recent check presentation to FHMD, Fundacion pa Hende Muhe den Dificultad.
“The results exceeded our expectations, “said Govert van der Hout, Arion Wine Company,” the tournament attracted the maximum number of golf players and almost twenty generous sponsors, who contributed enthusiastically to an important social cause.”
The exciting tournament was graced with the presence of Eric Wente, of Wente Vineyards, as the golf tournament host. Together with Papiamento restaurant, the partners present a multi-tiered event over the course of one weekend in April.
The resulting fund-raising check was handed over at the Papiamento Restaurant to Yvonne Spellen, Vice President of FHMD. She was accompanied on the happy occasion by Jasper Fidler, the treasurer of the organization. The money collected by the tournament will be put to good use by expanding the current shelter for families in crisis and making more suitable accommodations available.
