On September 11, 2013 the RCS committee of the North Bristol County Association of REALTORS met to allocate the funds that were raised during the 10th annual golf tournament. Donations will be made to the following organizations:

Pro Home Inc. , YMCA Strong Kids, New Hope Inc., Homes For Our Troops,Pride, Inc., Wounded Warrior Project,COOP,Citizens For Citizens,Boys and Girls Club of Taunton, Our Daily Bread, and Associates For Human Services, Inc.

Once again, I'd like to thank all of the volunteer members of the RCS, the North Bristol Association of REALTORS, and the players who came out to golf. Also, without the support of the hole sponsors and those who donated raffle or auction items none of what we do to give back to the community would be possible. Thank you all so very much!
