COMMENTS : According to the author, "For more than 20 years the
NCGA Foundation has been supporting many charitable
organizations throughout California. Today, it's Youth on
Course program teaches golf to kids from low-income families who
wouldn't otherwise have access to the golf course or driving
range. The program also teaches life-skills necessary for
program participants to become contributing and successful
members of society. The NCGA Foundation has become a pathway
for tens of thousands of young Californians to excel personally
and professionally. I am honored to author this resolution that
commemorates the wonderful work of the NCGA Foundation."
