The “Give” in the title is Keller Williams – McLean/Great Falls offices. The “Give” is to the charities Lift Me Up! and Our Military Kids. The “Where We Live” is the McLean and Great Falls area and beyond. Lift Me Up! is based in Great Falls and the headquarters for Our Military Kids is in McLean. The golf tournament was held Monday, October 24, 2011 at Trump National Golf Club along the Potomac River. George Lodge, a member of the Huckaby Briscoe Conroy Realty Group, initiated the tournament in 2010 for KW McLean/Great Falls and served as the Co-Chair of the 2011Golf Tournament. Over one hundred and fifty golfers enjoyed a spectacular fall day on the links. Golfers and guests continued the celebration that evening with a buffet dinner, silent and live auctions to benefit the charities and live band for entertainment.
A special guest appearance was made on the golf course by someone that closely resembled Austin Powers. “Mr. Powers” brought great humor to the participants of the tournament, which made us quickly forget about all those shots that surprisingly made it to water or sand instead of the green. The backdrop of this shot is the Potomac River and is of the Huckaby Briscoe Conroy Realty Group foursome: Glenn Feagans, George Lodge, “Austin Powers”, Karen and Andy Briscoe:
The Master of Ceremonies for the evening reception was someone who closely resembled the owner of Trump National Golf Club. George Lodge, the co-chair of the Golf Tournament joined “Mr. Trump” at the podium to announce the tournament winners. Jerry Boutcher assisted “Mr. Trump” in the live auction, raising large sums of money for the selected charities.
