Silent auction items needed

 

Mailing have went out to sponsors and golfers through the scholarship committee.  Please let members know that they can go to our website www.ocravensroost44.com to download letter to sponsors and golfers as well as tee sponsorship forms and golfers registration forms.

In addition members can start to bring bottle donations for our basket of cheers for the silent auctions, June 2nd.

 

A total fo six scholarships are awarded by Ravens Roost #44 to the three local high schools.  To fund those six scholarships, the Roost donates $15,000.  Each year the goal of the Roost’s golf Tournament is to raise at least $15,000.

 

Most of the proceeds from the Golf Tournament are raised through sponsors and individual Tee sponsorship.  The Roost’s golf tournament can support up to 128 golfers.  Last year there were 96 golfers.  Most of the entry fee for a golfer is used to defer the cost of running the tournament.  The portion of the golf entry fee after expenses are deducted to help fund the $15,000 donation is between #20-$30.  Depending on the number of golfers participating on the Roost’s tournament, a total of between $3000 to $3800 would be applied to the fund.

Thank you to the members who have sent in your Tee Sponsor form and donation.  There is still time to Sponsor a Tee.  Perhaps you can reach out to family members or consider sponsoring a Tee if you have not sent in the Tee sponsorship form. 

 

Tee sponsorship reduces the reliance on sponsorship.  100 Tee sponsors provides $10,000 toward our goal.  That gets us 2/3 of the way to the goal.

 

Please conside sponsoring a Tee and reaching out to family and friends for tee sponsorship and to play in the tournament.

 

Thank you for your attention and your support of this major fund-raiser.

Funny Poop

I was so shocked I nearly fell out of the cart.

Baltimore Ravens, let’s go

And put that ball across the line

So, fly with talons spread wide

Go in and strike with Ravens pride

Fight! Fight! Fight!

Ravens dark wings take flight

Dive in and show them your might

For Baltimore and Maryland

You will fly on to victory
