Golf Tournament Hole Sponsor 's Sample Poster
We will be accepting donations to be a hole sponsor. A sign with your information will be posted at one of the 18 holes on the course.
A few side notes regarding the Golf Tournament: Something to be very weary of is the Arizona Heat. Most people are not use to the
high temperatures normally found at that time of year. Typically it will be around 105-110 degrees at that time of year with humidity in the 70-80%.
If you decide to play golf, be sure to drink a lot of water. Keep hydrated.
Baseball Fans. Come out and see the Arizona Diamonbacks play the Florida Marlins on Saturday, August 23rd, 2008.
The Department of Arizona has negotiated a block of 500 seats for the National Convention attendees. Prices will range from $15 - $20 per seat.
Seating will be located behind the Arizona dugout. The fliers and information have not yet been disseminated. Once I receive them, I
will have it posted on the website. Keep checking for new events.
I will try to keep you posted of any new developments.

National Convention Chairman
