Marion Star Staff Report • April 24, 2009 MARION – Turning Point and Marion Evening Lions Club are hosting a Charity Golf Outing to

There will be a special auction of a few select items following the post-golf dinner and a 50/50 raffle will be held. The cost for the outing is $75 per golfer or $300 for a four-person team and is due by May 8. The registration cost includes green fees, cart rental and a barbeque chicken dinner following the event.
