4TH ANNUAL LAZARUS HINES MEMORIAL CELEBRITY GOLF TOURNAMENT
Tournament Information
Dear Friends,
We are happy to announce that the 4th Annual Lazarus Hines Memorial Celebrity Golf Tournament will take place on Friday, July 25, 2008 at Oak Creek Golf Course in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. This year's event will honor one of our founders Deacon Lazarus Hines.
This event will benefit two nonprofit organizations that have provided outstanding service to communities in the Washington DC metropolitan area. They are: Breaking the Chain Foundation and Metropolitan Community Development Corporation. Proceeds from this event will be used to develop and implement programs and services that will "break the chain" of intergenerational incarceration.
The event promises to be a grand affair that will also make a difference in our communities. We have some incredible guests scheduled to participate. Join us on Oak Creek Golf Course in Upper Marlboro, Maryland and have a great time for a great cause.
Sincerely,
Cazzie Russell
H. Beecher Hicks, Jr.

ABOUT MCDC…

ABOUT LAZARUS HINES…
Deacon Lazarus Hines was one of the founders of Metropolitan Community Development Corporation. He faithfully served on the Board of Directors from the date of incorporation until his illness prevented him from doing so. Deacon Hines will be most remembered for his strong character, his spiritual path, mighty spirit and his insistence on honesty and integrity. He was a constant reminder to his colleagues on the Board that ordinary individuals with the right spirit and partnerships can achieve extraordinary feats as long as they trust in God as the source of all provisions.
Lazarus Hines was an avid golfer. He loved the game. He shared that love and enthusiasm for the game by teaching golf to many members of the Metropolitan Baptist Church family. He was a champion golfer as his numerous awards attest.
The Board of Directors and Staff of Metropolitan Community Development Corporation feel that it is fitting and appropriate that we honor him and show our appreciation for his contributions over the years by dedicating the 2nd Annual Metropolitan Community Development Corporation Celebrity Golf Classic to the memory of Deacon Lazarus Hardison Hines.
ABOUT BREAKING THE CHAIN FOUNDATION…
Breaking the Chain Foundation is a non-profit organization that provides services to children who live in Washington, D.C. and have a parent or parents in prison or under correctional supervision. For additional information visit www.breakingthechainfoundation.org.
