Our Golf Outing will tee off on Monday, June 11 at Pleasant View Golf Course. Our Silent Auction is an important part of this fundraiser and we need your help. Each week, we will write about ideas for your donations, but your creativity is also encouraged.
This week we’d like to suggest donations that are “all things golf related”: gloves, hats, ball markers, tees, balls, golf bags, clubs, golf towels, golf umbrellas, golf course foursomes, rain gear for golfers, golf shoes, golf socks, club covers, shirts, shorts, sunglasses (to name a few items).
A big THANK YOU to MWT-M members who have already stepped up with 2018 donations:
Doug Coerper – Foursome and Cart at Lake Wisconsin Country Club
Cherie Gon – Hotel Red
Connie Smith – Case of wine glasses and beer mugs
Deb Dieter – Wisconsin Union Chair
Greg Blum – Dell’s Cabin
This is a great start! Looking forward to hearing from all of you.
Your Silent Auction Committee: Jeannine Desautels, Deb Dieter, Chris Disch, Ruth Domack, Leo Edelstein, Cherie Gon
