Update From April Committee Meeting

It's coming together slowly but surely.

Billy and Kacey took a field trip out to our new venue Blackstone National. While they were there, they were able to see the tent (that was only partially installed) and to get a feel for how the tournament would be set up from Blackstone National's end. The people at Blackstone National couldn't be any more helpful. Their attitude will undoubtedly make this year's event the best one yet.

Billy updated us on his progress with Save-the-Dates cards as well as all forms needed for the event. The cards will be mailed in mid-May. He has also done a great job at getting the signage together for the day of the tournament.

Marty the took the floor and gave us Jim Curran's financial update, as Jim was unable to attend the meeting. There is $5 in our account so far and we owe Jim $5.......

The tournament fees have been raised from $250 per golfer to $300 per golfer and give everyone the option of playing in the morning as opposed to collecting the extra $50 from only those who wanted to participate in the morning events.

The sponsorship levels are just about finalized and information regarding these opportunities will be posted soon.

Dick has been working feverishly on tournament formats. He has made several suggestions for morning events, none were agreed upon as yet, but it should be a fun filled day.

Cynthia had offered many great suggestions and ideas for the auction/raffle and has offered to work on getting some of those things for us. Also in the discussion was the possibility of having celebrity golfers with us for that day.

Dave continues to bring in items that will be part of the auction/raffles for the event, but he can't do it alone. So please, reach out and find people that will be willing to help out by donating items for this great cause. The donation form will be posted on the web-site within the next week.

Stay tuned for further updates.
