NAPM-LV Golf Tournament – Silver Creek – June 10, 2013
For almost 27 years, National Association of Purchasing Management of the Lehigh Valley (NAPM-LV) has organized the Annual Ellery Royal Memorial Golf Tournament. It is the major fund raiser for NAPM-LV’s Carl F. Zipf Scholarship Fund. Since the early 1980s, NAPM-LV has awarded over $100,000 to college students pursuing higher education in the fields of purchasing and supply chain management.
In order to continue our efforts to support the Carl F. Zipf Scholarship Fund, we need your help and support. We need golfers to make this a successful event.
Attached is a brochure describing the Annual Ellery Royal Memorial Golf Tournament being held June 10, 2013 at Silver Creek Country Club. The Registration section of the brochure indicates the various ways in which you or your company could help. You may even ask your suppliers or customers to help. The ways include:
· Becoming a Tournament Sponsor or a Corporate Sponsor
· Gathering up a foursome for a day of camaraderie, great food, and excellent golf at the beautiful Silver Creek Country Club
· Joining us as an individual golfer
· Sponsoring a green or a tee (We will create a custom sign for you or your company!)
· Donating an item significant to your company that could be used as a door-prize at the awards banquet. If you donate a gift item/certificate equaling a minimum of $50, we will advertise your company as a sponsor at the event.
Please review and complete the attached brochure for the full list of ways in which you can support this worthy cause. Please return by May, 30, 2013, to enable us to properly plan this event. Completed brochures can be RSVP’d via an email scanned document to Jkovacs@pplweb.com, or a fax to 610-774-6414; and then mail brochure & check to Attn: John Kovacs, PPL, Two North Ninth Street, Allentown, PA 18101-1179.
Please call John Kovacs 610-509-0495, if you would like to discuss any details or if you have any questions. If we can’t answer them immediately, we will be sure to get back to you.
Most of all, we hope to see you on the greens! It should be a very good time, and it’s for a very worth-while purpose. Thank you in advance for your time, consideration, and donation.
Jane Affa, 2013 Golf Chair Person
