THE LEE COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE HONOR GUARD KICKED OFF THE TOURNAMENT.

The HPVA Board thanks all of you who supported us by participating in our 9th Annual fund-raising golf tournament on October 27. Support was provided by, not only the 187 who played, but also from those who purchased golf balls for the helicopter drop; who sponsored holes by purchasing signs either in memory of a Veteran or for advertisement; who volunteered their services; Bob Kelly, our Pro Shop and bag staff personnel; Larry German and the wait staff; Jane Breisch for photos; and to anyone I may have failed to mention. Without everyone’s efforts we would not have been able to donate $10,000 to Warrior Homes. See page 14 for information about Warrior Homes, and why we support them.


THE SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT PROVIDED THEIR HELICOPTER FOR
THE BALL DROP. A RECORD 1,300 GOLF BALLS WERE SOLD.

We sold a record 1,300 balls for the helicopter ball drop! The six closest balls to the pin won $500. each, for a total of $3,000.

The field was divided into seven flights, with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places earning $120, $100 and $80 respectively per team in Pro Shop credit.
