2008 Golf Tournament This year's Golf Tournament was held at Timberline Golf Club in Calera. Bobby Humphreys, formerly with the University of Alabama and the Birmingham Steeldogs, was the guest speaker. Thanks to all who supported ECCS by sponsoring a golf cart, hole, or by playing in the tournament. 1st Annual Walk-A-Thon In conjunction with the Golf Tournament, the students at ECCS participated in a Walk-A-Thon.
