Rotary's “Cool at the Coast” golf tournament sponsorships for tees, greens, KPs and other prizes sold out at the June 7 tournament kickoff. The presenting sponsor of this year’s tournament is Three Rivers Casino Resort and Ocean Dunes Golf Links. Three Rivers will also spon- sor the hole-in-one prize on hole No. 8, a 2016 Ford Mustang. “Three Rivers and Ocean Dunes have been our lead spon- sors from the beginning,” said tournament co-chair Deb Lamb. “We could never have enjoyed the success we have had without their support.” Premier sponsors of this year’s tournament include PeaceHealth, Oregon Pacific Bank, Serv-Pro of South Eugene and Florence, and Banner Bank. PeaceHealth and Oregon Pacific Bank have been major sponsors all seven years, and this is ServPro’s third year as a main sponsor as well. “After six successful years, we have a regional reputation,” said co-chair Craig Sanders.
