One is a golf tournament. We've had the golf tournament for quite a few years. It brings together sitting Members and former Members. This is generally not bipartisan. We generally pit each other against each other on a partisan basis. But it's fun. But this year we've changed the format slightly and it is going to be a charitable event, and we hope that that will expand it greatly. The charity is a fund for disabled veterans, especially veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan. The tournament is on July 14 at the Army/Navy Club. I encourage you, A, to participate; and, B, to encourage others to participate as well. I think it's a cause that we all would agree is well worthwhile.
