GOLF OUTING IN MEMORY OF UNCLE DENNY
SATURDAY May 12, 2007 - Today, 130 golfers gathered at the Bensalem Country Club for the 1st annual Denny Treude Jr. Golf Memorial Outing.

Close to $6K was raised and this money will be donated in Denny's name to the St. Frances Cabrini Grade School in Fairless Hills PA. This year the money will be used for computers, books and other needed equipment. Eventually, a scholarship fund will be set-up in Denny's name.
