The Bartender’s Open
Due to COVID-19, the Friends of the Valley has decided to cancel their 2020 Golf Tournament known as "The Bartenders Open." While this is disappointing, the board feels these precautions are necessary for the safety of the Deerfield Valley.

Thank you,
Kevin, Lynn, Chris, John, Matt, and Chad
