Katrina relief fund
On behalf of HVGA Board and Committee members, we would like to say thank you to all (HVGA, TVGA and AVGA .. our Canadian friends) that donated towards
hurricane Katrina relief fund. The fund was raised in an effort to help fellow Vietnamese who were victims of the hurricane. Your kind contributions
taling $8,090 will help many families impacted by the hurricane get basic necessities that they have lost. All monetary donations went to the Vietnamese
Dominican Sisters. www.nutudaminh.org
It's wonderful to see how the game of golf can build such strong ties outside of 18 holes. Again, we sincerely appreciate your donations in helping our
fellow Vietnamese in this devastating hurricane. Click here to view photos.
