It's time again to start talking about our next annual fundraising event but
first I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that has
supported, participated and volunteered in previous tournaments. Your support of
our organization and our selected charity is truly appreciated.
For those of you that are new to Austin Chapter of IFMA, we sponsor an annual golf tournament to support both an Austin-based charity and our organization. The proceeds from the tournament are split equally between the charity and our chapter. We use the money for chapter events during the year. Previously, we selected Austin-based charities such as Meals on Wheels and Hospice Austin and, for the last 2 years, we have lent our support to the Austin Children's Shelter. The 2006 tournament will be held on March 27, 2006 at the Hills of Lakeway. We are taking recommendations from the Austin members for a charity that could benefit from our donation and that would not otherwise receive a substantial donation from other sources. Please submit via e-mail to Glenda.stubbs@sbcglobal.net, the name of the organization along with their mission statement and any background information that would describe their goals. The deadline for submittals is November 15th. The Austin Chapter's Board of Directors will review all submittals and make the final selection. Our goal is for the 2006 tournament to be the best ever and would ask that all members support this effort. There are many opportunities for support that include sponsorships, goodie bag items, door prize donations or by simply attending the awards dinner after the event. This event has always been a lot of fun and is a wonderful way to help our chapter as well as making a difference in the lives of Austinites. Check out the Austin Chapter of IFMA website for the sponsorship form , the tournament registration form as well as some "important things to know" about the tournament. If you have any questions, please contact me at Glenda.stubbs@SBCglobal.net or call (512) 335-1482. |
