Spot Light On...

Got Golf?

Donna Berty, Select Long Term Care
Susan Davis, Wells Fargo
Co-Chairs for the
Ways and Means Committee

All of you know by now that our new Ways and Means Co-Chairmen, Susan Davis and Donna Berty, are stepping up the pace for solicitation of sponsors for the 2007 EWI Scholastic Classic Golf Tournament, to be held June 1, 2007 at the Kissing Camels Golf Club.  We want everyone to think GOLF as we enter into the New Year.  Already we have several generous commitments from member firms and representatives.  But the goal this year is to see how close we can come to 100% participation (currently at 36%) by all member firms.  In addition, Pepsi/Lane Distributing has challenged us with matching up to $5000 of cash commitments from other firms.  This can assure we meet our goal of net profit $15,000 for non-traditional scholarships and scholarships for a few of our own members to attend the 2007 LCAM in Houston, Texas.

Unlike years past, we are limiting the number of players to the first 72 golfers registered, so be ready when the registration cards go out in January to sign up your teams.

We would like to say a special thanks to these sponsors who have confirmed their commitments:

Pepsi/ Lane Distributing, Wallace Vision, Wells Fargo Bank, Girl Scouts, Select Hospital, Stanley Steamer, Daniels Chevy, La Casita Patio Cafes, Art of Design, World Savings, Accent Photo, B & L Carpet, Woodford Manufacturing, Aqua Prima Water, H&R Block, Phoenix Consulting, Orbit Promotions, Benefit Resources, OpTech Laboratories, The Cool Company, Dr. Ann Carlisle, Lynn Severson Interiors, Allstate Insurance, Suess Agency

For all of those representing the larger companies, we are looking for Bachelor level (two at $1000 each), Associate level (multiple at $500 each), Golf Cart Sponsor (first come at $1000), and the Putting Green Challenge (only one at $500).  All cash donations are welcomed, and we still need 6.5 "hole'" sponsors ($300 per hole or share a hole for $150 for each of two sponsors).  We would really appreciate any door prize and "Goody Bag" items as well.  Please see Susan or Donna if you have questions; they will be the elves in the red hats:  Got Golf?

President's Message ...

Onward and Upward!

by Kathy Wallace,
WallaceVISION, LLC

Happy New Year, EWIs! Hope everyone enjoyed our lunch at the Broadmoor, which is always special during the holidays! Thanks to Linda Williamson, Dianne Loper and Valerie Blankenship for putting that together.

Everyone have a safe and fun-filled holiday season. We can all relax a bit in January when the craziness is over. Plan on participating in our January meeting at the Gazette as we discuss marketing and promotional issues - it's always good to review and get new ideas at the beginning of the year!

And don't forget to make plans to participate in the golf tournament in June. This will be our one fundraiser for the year for our scholarship programs, and we are shooting for 100% participation by EWi firms.

See you soon!
