WASHINGTON-More than $100,000 was raised for the National Credit Union Foundation (NCUF) in the first Congressional Invitational Golf Tournament sponsored by CUNA and the NCUF. Nearly 100 golfers participated in the event, including credit union executives, congressional staffers, and CUNA and NCUF representatives. The tournament was held at the Belle Haven Country Club in Alexandria, Va. Each foursome, which cost $4,000, had three credit union reps paired with one congressman or staffer.
