COMMITTEE REPORTS

FUNDRAISING

Golf Outing- Once again, Chairman Jim Murasko reminded everyone about the golf outing on June 10 at Newton Country Club.  Flyers were distributed with information regarding the outing and an application form. The price for the day was kept at $150.00.
In addition to golfers the chamber will need volunteers (non-golfers) to help out that day.

This is a major fundraiser with the proceeds going to local scholarships.  The bulk of our money comes from hole sponsors, golf cart sponsors, beverage cart sponsors, etc. Members are asked to find sponsors so we can meet our goals.

At the June meeting, we will be presenting the scholarships to area high school students.
