After a three year break, the Mercury Golf Tournament was back in action at the Nile Shrine Golf Course in Mountlake Terrace. Thanks to the many generous sponsors, groups enjoyed a day of golfing and a delicious catered meal. It was great to have this event back in full swing! Thank you to all that sponsored and thank you Mercury for another great event! Proceeds from this year’s golf tournament will benefit Alpha, as well as Puget Sound Regional Services.
