MOST SUCCESSFUL ERC GOLF TOURNEY EVER
On Monday September 15, one hundred fourteen golfers descended on Brookside Country Club to participate in the Emmaus Rotary Club's 8th Annual Golf Tournament. For the first time we had a full-on event sponsor: The Vinart Dealerships of Lehigh Valley Acura, Honda and Hyundai. Vinart's support was incredible and its owner, Andy Wright, joined us to kick off the tournament. In addition to our event sponsor, we had eight birdie sponsors, nine eagle sponsors, three beverage sponsors, two lunch sponsors and over fifty hole sponsors. Tt was an incredible day that all came together through the tireless effort put forth by our fearless co-leaders, Steve Gould and John Zayaitz, along with the golf committee and amazing support from the club membership.
Coordination and execution of this event could not happen without a strong committee. Steve and John did a great job leading the effort. We also want to give a HUGE thank you to the team of Mario Cozzubbo, Jim Lett, Bob Rust, Dave Roehrig, Mike Gibson, Don Blose, Mike Lahanas, Joe Pugliese, Rick Zayaitz, Bryce Ruggieri, Rory King and Jeff McElhaney. For those who sponsored the event or supported the effort in any way, we thank you, as well.
Months of planning led to a beautiful day in which we raised approximately $44,000 gross. Our net profit is expected to exceed $25,000 - making this event one of the most successful fund raisers in club history. As we budget this money for the 2016 - 2017 Rotary year, we can be confident that these efforts will allow our club to make a significant difference in the lives of those in need in our community and around the world.
