Otis Chapter #166

 .
The tournament's purpose is to raise charity funds to support the Otis Air Force servicemen and women and their families, to enable our Cape Cod community, military, and civil service personnel to get to know each other better in a relaxed setting, and to promote AFA membership.
. 
The general public entry fee per player is $115; for AFA members, Otis military officers and government civilians it will be $90; and for Otis military enlisted personnel the entry fee is $60. 
  .  
 Application forms and details are enclosed in Attachments 1 and 2.
 .
We are asking businesses to help sponsor this charity fund raising event.  Hole sponsorship is $150 per hole, and breakfast and luncheon sponsorships are $100 and $150, respectively.  All sponsors will receive public recognition at the golf luncheon and in our tournament program.  Any corporate “give away gifts” that you would like to donate will be added to the AFA “Goodie Bag” to be received by all golfing participants.
 .
If you would like to participate in this charitable event and to demonstrate your support for the sacrifices of our local military members and families, please complete and mail the appropriate attached form and send it to our AFA Point of Contact, Linda Jean.   
 .
This tournament is limited to the first 72 golfers to register so that we can have a fast moving, relaxed and fun outing.  We’re encouraging early sign-up since we’ll be accepting applications on a first-come, first-serve basis.  The cut-off date for signing up to play and business sponsorship is August 14, 2009.  Again, early sign-up is recommended.
