Updated: 25th Annual Eastman-Dodge County Kiwanis Club holds golf tournament
“The Wind blows where it wants to. You hear its sound, but you don’t know where it comes from or where it is going.” That familiar quote from John 3:8 may have crossed the minds of many of the competitors in the 25th Annual Eastman-Dodge County Kiwanis Club golf tournament.
