Happy August everyone!

As we turn the page to a new month, I am reminded that our club’s annual golf tournament is now just six weeks away. The golf tournament is our primary fundraiser enabling us to “Make A Difference” in our local community and internationally. 

The golf committee is busy obtaining sponsors, recruiting golfers and working closely with Brookside Country Club to stage a premier event.  We’re also raffling off an all-expenses paid trip for two to the weekend rounds of the Masters in Augusta GA in April 2018.

We need the help of every member to ensure a successful event.  If you play golf, please register to play in the tournament and recruit others to play with you.  It’s easy to register at www.ercgolf.com. If you have connections to local businesses, ask them to be a sponsor. There are several levels of sponsorships available. Please pass along any leads you have to John Zayaitz or Mario Cozzubbo.  If you can obtain items for the silent auction, please contact Don Blose. 

And, of course, please help with raffle ticket sales.  The cost is $100 per ticket for a 1 in 300 chance to win a fabulous golf holiday. It would be a huge help if every member purchased at least one ticket and sold another to a friend or family member.

With help from all members, I am confident this year’s event will be our best yet!

Yours in Rotary,

Burt
