GOLF TOURNAMENT
This year our golf
outing will be held at the Clinton County Country
Club. In 2007, new owners, Ron Clapper and Dan
Klingerman, purchased the Clinton County Club and
they have invested substantial sums of money in
capital improvements and renovations to the golf
course and club house. The management, Andy Fisher
(Golf Professional), Faith Elliott (Function
Coordinator), Ron Bickle (Golf Course
Superintendent), Tom Cioffi (Director of Operations)
and their staff are looking forward to hosting our
golf outing. They want to make it a relaxing and
fun-filled day for all of us. The owners have
recently hired Vinnie Kishbaugh as their new Chef.
The Committee will be meeting with him in the near
future to select the menus to be served for our
lunch and dinner.
Please note: If you are unable to gather enough
players to field a foursome, we will be happy to
take individual player registrations and form a
foursome for you.
Additionally, we are seeking non-monetary donations to be awarded as
various prizes and gifts. Suggestions for these
items could be hats, golf balls, shirts, umbrellas,
golf clubs, bags, jackets, other golfing items, gift
certificates, products or services sold or made by
your company or other items which may promote your
company or its name.
Please call Bob Horner to arrange delivery / pick-up
for the award items. I will need advance notice if
you require a receipt for the value of the donated
items for tax deduction purposes.
The Northcentral PA Chapter of the American Red
Cross will hold its annual Charity Golf Tournament
on Monday, June 2, 2008. Our tournament is held each
year to raise funds to help provide thousands of
county residents with vital services in their times
of need. We have raised over $175,000 to date to
support our four services in Lycoming, Clinton and
Tioga Counties.
Last year the tournament raised approximately
$10,000 for these programs with 64 golfers
participating. This year my goal is to expand our
efforts and to raise $12,500 through this event.
This tournament is a major undertaking for the local
chapter of the American Red Cross and the amount of
support we are able to provide to residents of the
three counties is the center of this fundraising
effort. Ambitious as it may seem, we feel that with
the help and support of those like you, the goal can
be reached. The enclosed sponsorship form (see
below) outlines
the various support levels: Platinum ($1,000), Gold
($750), Silver ($500), Bronze ($250), to sponsor a
hole ($125), Patron Level (up to $125).
I know there are great demands upon you from the
many worthwhile causes in our community, and I am
sure that you make every effort to sponsor one or
many of them. The Northcentral PA Chapter needs your
financial support more than ever. I hope that you
take a few moments to consider being a part of the
Northcentral PA Chapter of the American Red Cross’s
Golf Tournament this year. Your contribution and
sponsorship will be going to support the following
worthwhile services: Armed Forces Emergency
Services, Blood Donations, Disaster Assistance, and
Safety & Health Instruction.
If you and your guests wish to attend only the
dinner and awards ceremony (including auctions and a
50-50 drawing) because you may be a non-golfer or
are unable to be a golf participant this year,
dinner tickets are available. Golfer participants
also may purchase guest tickets for the dinner
festivities. Tickets are available at our cost of
$25 per person.
The deadline for securing your reservations and
obtaining these tickets
is Friday, May 23, 2008.
If you have any questions, please feel free to
contact me. I can be reached at (570) 323-9407 Ext.
3103 during the day or in the evenings at (814)
238-4242. I look forward to hearing from you and
thank you for your consideration.
