TPC Fundraiser

Please read the following message from Kym Arena outlining the upcoming TPC fundraiser:

"It is time to get busy organizing for our biggest fund-raiser, working with Prom Catering at the Deutsche Bank Golf Tournament 8/27 - 8/31. Last year was our first year participating in this event and we were able to bring in more than $8K for the Club! It is obviously a most worthwhile effort to ensure that we take advantage of the earning potential afforded us. Over the past few weeks I've been communicating with the event coordinator from Prom Catering. Based upon general info that I provided her, (approx. number of volunteers & age range of the volunteers), she recommended that we plan to staff an entire tent a day. She has recommended a couple of tents that would be a good fit for our group and offer us maximum earning potential. Both tents she suggested are full menu tents so we will be serving food and beverage. We would need a total of 30 volunteers to staff a tent for a day. The day is broken into 3 shifts, 8-2:00, 9-3 :00, and 11:00 to close. We do have the opportunity to "own" a tent for the entire 5 day tournament. However, since that would require us to staff 150 shifts and that week is the week of double sessions, the jamboree and the holiday weekend, I don't think it is feasible to do so. I propose that we at least commit to Friday, Sat., and Sunday. I would like your input about shooting for Thursday as well. Thursday, we would probably have to find 30 non-player volunteers since that is usually the day of the jamboree and many players will be involved with that. I don't know if that is realistic. Additionally, our compensation is a % of the $ brought in divided amongst the volunteers during the shift, so it may not even be worth the effort to try and work any of the less busy days.

Please email me your thoughts and we'll make our final call.

While we're at it, if you could please indicate any shifts that you & your loved ones would be available for. Each day we will need 5 people for the 8-2:00 shift, 15for the 9-3, and 10 for the 11 to close shifts. We might as well get started organizing now."
