Thanks to the efforts of most of our Club members, and a lot of hard work by the Golf Outing Committee members, we were able to exceed our Goal of raising $20,000.00 for the 2018 Charity Golf Outing. There were a total of 128 Golfers signed up, this was 88.9% of our goal of 144 Golfers and raised $12,800.00 in revenue. There were a total of 26 Hole Sponsorships obtained, which equaled 86.7% of our goal of 30 Sponsorships and raised $7500.00 in revenue. We sold close to 75% of the Golfers the “Golfer Package” at $30.00 each, which included 5 Mulligans and 10 Raffle Tickets, which brought in another $2560.00 in revenue. The String Game was sold to close to 50% of the Golfers at $20.00 each, raising another $1160.00 in revenue. The Silent Auction outpaced all other facets of the Golf Outing by raising an outstanding total of $4873.00 in revenue on a total of 29 Packages, equaling 162.4% of our goal of $3000.00. The Dixon Golf Challenges helped with another $800.00 + in revenue, and a few small donations were made by some members which added to the final total. After all the expenditures were paid, our total revenue to the Foundation came to approximately $21,100.00!!! The weather turned out to be another bonus for everyone there, as it was perfect for golfing. The participants and volunteers all enjoyed excellent food and fun with a full cookout served after the golf. We awarded a total of 12 Hole Contest prizes and 3 Team prizes to the foursomes with the lowest scores during the after golf program. Raffle prizes were also won during the program, and our Club’s ShelterBox tent and display was set up at the 1st Tee Boxes throughout the whole day to help educate the non-Rotarians about one of our service projects. All in all, an excellent Charity Golf Outing was conducted this year, definitely our best ever.
