GULF SHORES, Ala. — The seniors at DayBreak Senior Daycare were treated to a morning of fun and golf at the Peninsula Golf and Racquet Club in Gulf Shores. 

Volunteers and participants enjoyed a beautiful October morning on the golf course – some played while others cheered them on and just enjoyed the fresh air as they rode along in a golf cart. After returning to the club house everybody was treated to a great lunch at The Peninsula Grill.

Thanks to the generosity of Peninsula Golf and Racquet Club everyone had a great time!
