Dear Dale,
I would like to invite you and the ASouth Carolina membership to participate in our Second Annual Charity Golf Tournament supporting Georgia’s Wounded Warriors. The tournament kicks off with a Dinner the night of the 5th of June with the tournament being played on Monday, June 6 – D Day. This year’s event will be held at the Lake Lanier Islands Resort, Lake Lanier, Georgia.
The Georgia Mountain Chapter of MOAA, Inc., the host of the event, is a 501 (c) (19) non-profit, tax exempt war veterans’ organization thus all donations to the event are tax deductible. Since our incorporation in December 2008 we have raised and donated in excess of $35,000 to benefit Georgia’s and America’s Wounded Warriors.
The center piece of our efforts is the charity golf tournament. It is both a fun filled and a relaxing two days at the Resort for the Wounded Warrior and their families. The joy and appreciation expressed in just their faces cannot be described. In order to sustain this event we have in the past enlisted the support of several corporations and organizations to include; Genuine Parts (NAPA), USAA, Corporate Environments, Kipper Tools, MOAA, the Atlanta Falcons, and more.
This event presents you a unique opportunity to further lend support to America’s Wounded Warriors. As such, I am requesting you pass the attached information to all of your chapters and consider entering the tournament, commit to attend the celebration dinner on the 5th, and field a team for the event. We have arranged for a great rate of $99.00 (excludes tax and gratuities) at the Legacy Lodge that will be honored up to three days prior to the tournament to three days after. The price of the dinner will be $55.00 with live entertainment featuring the “Ugly Cousins” band. If you have not been to the Islands you are in for a treat. The lodge and the golf course have been completely renovated and it rivals any 5 star resort you may have stayed at. Plus it will give you a sneak preview of where we intend to host the Georgia 2012 State Convention.
Soldiers, Airman, Sailors, Marines, and Coast Guardsmen have and continue to safe guard the freedoms we enjoy each and every day. Theirs and their families’ sacrifices are many and this exciting, patriotic event gives us all an opportunity to express our gratitude and give a little back to them.
Thank you in advance for your consideration and support and I am looking forward to seeing you at this year’s event!
Note: I have attached both an entry form and fact sheet on the tournament for your use and to pass to your membership. Also, if any of your members know of an entity that would like to join our sponsor list, ask them to please let me know. We do have a briefing concerning the event and I would be glad to present it to any interested party.
God Bless America and her warriors,
Dave G
