The Dewitt Churchwell Memorial Invitational

MBS San Antonio held its 21st annual customer appreciation golf tournament on October 15th at Canyon Springs Golf Club. The tournament is appropriately named "The Dewitt Churchwell Memorial Invitational". We were pleased to host over ninety customers and friends. The weather was excellent, our staff did a nice job of welcoming our guests and taking care of the details. All in attendance enjoyed a great day of golf and fellowship and we raised over $5000 for the scholarship fund created in Dewitt's name. Many thanks to our guests and friends for spending the day with us.
