Notice: Postponed Event

Due to Hurricane Milton and its effects on the community, we have decided to postpone the 25th Annual De Soto Charity Golf Tournament.  Many in our community have been affected, and we want to prioritize everyone’s well-being. We will announce a new date soon. Our hearts go out to all those impacted during this challenging time.
