JAKARTA (JP): The Bogor Raya golf club held its annual festival in Bogor, West Java, last week.

Notable members, including Minister of Agriculture Sholeh Salahudin, Coordinating Minister for People's Welfare and Poverty Eradication Hayono Suyono and House of Representatives legislator Thomas Soeyatno, attended the five-day event, which ended over the weekend.

Festival organizers also raised funds for the poor living near the golf course. About 1,000 members had their membership fees cut Rp 5,000 (4 U.S. cents) each to buy staple food for the needy. (yan)
