Golf Tournament Report

On Aug. 10, 2009, the club had its annual charity golf tournament. This year we had 32 foursomes, 4 short of full capacity. Fortunately, the weather was good, although hot and humid. The golf course was in excellent condition and the food was great.

The club should be very proud of our committee, made up of past presidents Mike Forni, Roger Boucher, Steve Mattaliano, Dick Bachman and members Dick Braley and Mary Sue Moore. They all worked extra hard to offset the negative effects of today's economy.

This year, we purchased all of the raffle prizes on line to save expenses.

The East Bridgewater Savings Bank, our major corporate sponsor again donated $2000 for the event. South Shore Savings Bank again donated the cost of insurance for our hole-one-event. We were able to increase income from the raffle from $600 last year to $1400 this year. Also, we were able to increase income from sponsorship signs from $2600 to $3500. Estimated total net income from the tournament is $6800.

A special thanks to all the members and friends who participated in the event and a special thanks to the members who helped out during the tournament: PP Kris Resendes, Kris's associate Maureen Hill, Alicia Boucher, President Dianne, Mary Sue Moore, Andre Rosenberg, Ed Fopiano, Frank Ray, and Treasurer Mike Porrazzo.

The committee had a "post event" meeting last week to share ideas and explore things we can do to improve next year's tournament. We have sent thank you letters to all of the sponsors who donated money for sponsor signs of made other donations (many of the local golf clubs gave us free rounds of golf for our raffle and auction). We will be looking for some of our newer members to join the committee next year. If you have an interest, please contact me.
