Dear Club
Members ,
On Friday, September 17th, we
are
hosting and event that you will not want to miss. We
would love to show the world, once again, that we have the best group of
members
at our club. This event supports a group called the Snoqualmie Valley
Preservation Alliance. The group is made up of Lower Valley Businesses
and
residents that are fighting to save the golf courses, farms, and home owners in
the Lower Snoqualmie Valley. They are working hard to prevent the
eventual
destruction of the Lower Valley from flooding caused by poor management
of the
Snoqualmie River.
Unfortunately, the costs facing the group
are quite high and there is no financial nugget at the end. The goal
right now is just self-preservation for all of us.
As most of you know, we
experienced the worst flood in our history in 2009. This flood almost
wiped us, Twin Rivers, and Carnation off of the map financially. Also,
this flood came only 2 years and 2 months after the prior worst flood
in our
history. I think it is safe to say that we would have never made it
through those events without the amazing amount of help many of you
provided in
the clean-up efforts. This group is trying to do anything it can to
stop
the projects like the one completed in 2005 from continuing to be done
at the
expense of the Lower Snoqualmie Valley. Their success could mean not
only
our survival, but also less raking and shoveling for all of you kindhearted
members.
The event is a 4-person
scramble with a shotgun start at 2:00 PM. It is going to be an
absolutely
can't miss event. There are going to be prizes for KPs, Long Drives,
Putting Contest winners, and for low scoring teams. Entry is only $360
for
a 4 person team or $90 for singles (I will make teams up from a singles
list). Each entrant will get 18 holes with shared power cart, a steak
dinner with musical entertainment after the round, one raffle ticket,
and a
chance at many prizes. Additional raffle tickets can be purchased for $5
each. Entry forms can be picked up at the golf courses downloaded by clicking here. Please enter soon so we can have the largest support
come from our club.
The raffle is open to
anyone, so please buy your tickets even if you are unable to play in the
tournament. They are $5 per ticket and the prizes are fantastic. The
current top prize is a set of Cleveland CG7 Black Pearl Irons with
graphite
shafts (Retial Price $1080). Also, we are giving away an anytime10
round pass for golf as well as an anytime round for a 4-some with
carts. Twin Rivers is giving away a 10 token range pass and an anytime round
for 4 with
carts. Carnation is donating an anytime round for 4 with carts. Wilson donated a 8881 staff putter (Retail Price $129.99). Jubilee
Farms donated pumpkins and a 3 week membership to their Co-Op farm. On
top
of this, more prizes are yet to come from other golf courses and
companies.
Thanks so much for your past and
continued
support,
John, Jeff, Dave, Lee, and the rest of
the staff at
Snoqualmie Falls
