Keenes deserve big thanks from community

The purchase of Banks Lake Golf Course by the Colville Tribes ends seven years of service to the course by Jim and Rose Keene.

They took over management of the course under difficult conditions and put in countless hours of work to keep the course up and running. They have worked together with a mostly volunteer crew overseeing the everyday operations of the facility. Running a course is no easy task. It is a seven-day-a-week commitment for most of the year with some activity even when the course is closed. 

They deserve a very large “Thank You” from all the local golfers and the community. The course hosts tournaments, brings tourist to the area and the club house has provided a venue for many local events.

The amazing thing is, they did all of this without being paid. They did it for us.

Thank you from the Banks Lake Men’s Club.
