Ways and Means/Golf Outing Report
April 18, 2009
We have the fliers to pass out to golfers. Again the
outing is May 16, 2009 at Walden Pond Golf Course.
We are also starting to collect items now for goody
bags that will be given to each participant; therefore
we ask Sorors to begin bring to next sorority meeting.
Also we need sponsors, please begin asking your
employers for their support with this endeavor. Also
we are asking each Soror to obtain two Hole Sponsors
each. Hole Sponsorship is $100. We will stay around
today to collect money. See me or Soror Ronnise
Handy.
We gladly report that we currently have approx. 18
Hole Sponsors and five teams. WE NEED A LOT MORE.
Our next meeting will be held Sunday, April 26, 2009 at
3:00 pm at Donatos in Tri-County.
