Dust off your clubs and join us.

Hey Everyone,

I am thinking of trying to put together a Foursome to support this event for ACBVI. As some of you may know I have been friends with Steve Welker for more than 10 years now and have seen how much this organization has helped him.

Cost: $450 for foursome (about $112 per player of the Foursome)
$125 for an individual player

Usually entrance to non-profit Charity events starts at $250 or higher per player. A portion of the entrance fee would be considered a donation. Or if you wanted to If you are interested in joining me, let me know. You can also sign up by yourself at $125 rather than signing up as a foursome.

Also pass this along to anyone else who may be interested in joining my foursome or playing on their own.

Details are below in the email.

Thanks,
Pablo
