Dust off those clubs, take a few practice swings, and then mark your calendar for Monday, October 4, 2004 when Valley Building Materials (VBM) will once again host its 10th Annual Charity Golf Tournament benefiting HomeAid Orange County, the Building Industry Association of Southern California's charitable outreach. The 2004 tournament has been renamed, the John Kolendich Memorial Golf Tournament in honor of VBM deceased owner who was the initiator and the driving force behind this event.
"In health, John was a friend to so many; in sickness, his fierce will and determination in fighting a two-year battle with cancer inspired us to become more like him," said Kolendich's widow, Kathleen who went on to say that this tournament represents her late husband's desire to change the lives of those less fortunate.
