Thanks to all for Another Successful Golf Tournament

ImageWe had a beautiful day on Monday, October 23.  Manchester Country Club once again did a great job both with the food and the golf course. The tournament is annually one of our most encompassing hands on projects. On behalf of the Golf Committee, I would like to recognize and thank the following: 

 

  • President George for setting the direction, selecting the benefactor and his encouragement and involvement.
  • The Golf Committee - we recorded a large number of makeups as we met every Wednesday for several weeks. 
  • To the Club itself for all your support.
  • Mike Derr for the financials including the sponsor listing and the golf foursomes.
  • Yvette Roming for another terrific raffle - around 90 prizes. You would have enjoyed seeing the display. Thanks for your help in making a quality raffle. 
  • Dan Larson for his master of ceremony duties and the preparation of our sponsor signs.
  • Jim Fallon for distribution of signs on the course. It takes so much time to get them all ready.
  • President George and Peggy for the tournament program including the tournament rules and listing our many sponsors.
  • Dick McCarthy for the ten dozen donuts and using his van as our beverage stop all day.
  • George Agnelli, our super sponsor sales man for sponsorships. 
  • Dan Russell for his yearly contribution of his original art work to the raffle. 

We had 24 Rotarians who golfed and 12 others who were volunteers during the tournament (better than half our membership.)  In addition, our family of volunteers included Rita Brown, Kathy McCabe, Bev Leone, Jean Roland, Jeanne McCarthy, Bev Saunders, Peggy Schoen, Esther Clarke and Bob Richmond. 

ImageOnce again, our major sponsors were Rosebud 1876 LLC and Pratt & Whitney. D'Esopo Memorial Chapel provided a set of Taylor Made Irons and 3D Asset Management made sure each golfer found a sleeve of golf balls in he/her goodie bag. 

In addition, the program listed another 84 sponsors who provided hole signs and other considerations. Thanks for your followup with these folks. 

Thanks to TSI Harley, and Jack Ghagan's family, for bringing the Harley each year. It would sure be great to have a hole in one some day. Jay Stewart's son, Bob, came with inches this year with his drive on Hole 18 rimming the cup. 

We try to improve our tournament each year by doing a post review. Comments and suggestions are always welcome. 

Please accept my apology for anyone I forgot.

And Thanks so much - Rotarians and their friends always come through for us.
