Golf Tournament Friday, May 16, 2008 Event registration Event registration - CLICK HERE to register The Women in Aerospace golf tournament will be held on Friday, May 16, 2008 at Potomac Ridge Golf Course in Waldorf, Maryland (see below for address and directions), from 1:00 p.m. to approximately 8:00 p.m. A bag lunch will be served and participants will be given some time to hit balls at the driving range prior to the 1 p.m. shotgun start. Registration is now open, and we encourage all golfers -- whether male or female, beginner or expert -- to join us for a fun-filled afternoon of golf and networking. Registration for both the Clinic and Tournament includes lunch, dinner, full beverage package, and all golf-related fees. For the more adventurous - not necessarily more skilled - golfers, we are continuing our traditional 18-hole best-ball/scramble tournament. All golfers will receive a gift bag, bag lunch, full beverage package throughout the day, and dinner with their registration fee of $150 for private sector registrants and $95 for public sector/non-profit employees. Rental clubs available for golf tournament participants (cost is $35); contact Potomac Ridge at 800-791-9078 to reserve a set. For beginners, we are offering a clinic that will run in parallel with the 18-hole tournament. The group will spend about 2 hours learning and improving golf skills before spending some time on the course. If you have clubs, bring them, otherwise they will be provided by the golf course. All golfers will receive a gift bag, bag lunch, full beverage package throughout the day, and dinner with their registration fee of $150 for private sector registrants and $95 for public sector/non-profit employees. Following the tournament and clinic, we will again be providing dinner from Red Hot & Blue. During dinner, we will be handing out awards for the top-finishing teams in three categories: men's division (3 or more men on a team), women's division (3 or more women on a team), and mixed (2 men, 2 women). Auction to benefit WIA's scholarship fund In addition, we will be auctioning off donated items to raise money for the WIA scholarship fund. Our Board of Directors has committed that all funds raised during the post-play auction will go directly to a scholarship fund to be initiated this year. We are soliciting prizes for both the raffle and auction. Last year, we raised over $1,300; this year, our goal is to raise much more. If you have an item you would like to donate, please contact Eileen McGowan, Golf Tournament Chair, at golf@womeninaerospace.org. Please be creative! If you or your company would like to donate an item for our auction, please fill out the Silent Auction Gift Form. You may fax the completed form to (314) 965-1070 or scan and email it to golf@womeninaerospace.org. Current auction items include: ISCe 2008 CONFERENCE (VALUE: $995), donated by Hannover Fairs USA VIRGINIA BEACH OCEAN HOME (VALUE: $2,000), donated by Madelyn Creedon & Jim Bracco Teams and sponsorship opportunities Individual golfers for either the Clinic or the 18-Hole Tournament The table below lists the levels and benefits for sponsorship opportunities for golfers and non-golfers alike. All "Golf Sponsorships" include at least one foursome, contest coupons for each player, and a sponsor sign at one of the holes on the course. Higher-level sponsorships provide additional benefits and recognition to your company. "Non-Golf Sponsorships" are for companies that wish to support WIA without fielding a team. If you choose a "non-golf" sponsorship level, you may attend the informal, post-play dinner to network with colleagues and participate in our silent auction.
According to House and Senate ethics rules, Congressional Staff generally may not accept the gift of free attendance at a golf tournament unless there is a charitable purpose to the event. Please contact your ethics office for specific guidance. Executive branch employees must pay for themselves (see 5 C.F.R. 2653.203-205, which governs standards of ethical conduct for employees of the Executive Branch). While WIA is raising money to build a scholarship fund in conjunction with the awards dinner (see Auction section above), the tournament is not considered a charitable event. Women in Aerospace is a 501(c)6 organization, and therefore not considered a charity. WIA will be glad to invite a limited number of government employees upon request. Please contact us at golf@womeninaerospace.org for more information.
