Chardonnay Golf Club is very active on this front, having do- nated thousands of rounds of golf over the years to assist with non- profit fund-raising efforts. But in re- cent years, staff members at Chardonnay have taken it upon them- selves to do even more for the community that supports them. "Staff members here at the club have upped the ante by getting proactive, and person- ally and directly investing their time and efforts in coordinating and run- ning fund-raising programs," said General Manager Roger Billings. "It's not often you find individual em- ployees of golf courses hosting and planning golf tournaments for non- profits, but that's exactly what's hap- pening at Chardonnay Golf Club." One employee who is going above and beyond the call of duty is Tour- nament Sales Director Alex Hall. In November of 2011, Jim Capoot, a Vallejo police officer, resident of Va- caville, and close friend of Hall's, lost his life in the line of duty. Hall thought creating a memorial golf tournament fund-raiser in Officer Capoot's name would be a great way to honor his friend's legacy and raise additional funds for the Vacaville Po- lice Activities League and Vacaville Vengeance, two non-profits Capoot was heavily involved in. Since its inception in 2013, the tour- nament has raised more than $25,000 to assist the above-mentioned youth programs in Solano County. This year's event will be held Oct. 23. Another staff member that is reach- ing out is Chardonnay's Head Golf Professional Bob Becker Becker is the Coordinator of the community outreach program We Love Our City at the Father's House Church in Napa. He and his wife, Lesley, coordinate and facilitate vol- unteers that serve five under-re- sourced city blocks in Napa with food every Saturday morning, a "free" Farmers Market produce give- away on the second Saturday of every month, supplementary food service at two local elementary schools, and various other programs. It's safe to say that to those at Chardonnay Golf Club, community members are family. CLICK HERE to learn more about the Jim Capoot Memorial Tourna- ment on Oct. 23.
