Dear Fellow St Monica Golf Enthusiasts,
It is with great pleasure that we invite you to once again join your fellow parishioners and friends for our 5th Annual St. Monica School Golf Classic, with a special thank you to our title sponsor – Northwest Construction, Inc. for their support and generosity!!  This year’s event will honor former pastor of St. Monica Parish, Father John Bowman!   

This year’s tournament will be held Monday, September 22nd at Glendale Country Club.  Registration will begin at 10am and we will fire off the shotgun at noon.  Prior to the main event we invite you to practice that swing by hitting as many range balls as you can and then fine tuning that short game by participating in the putting contest.  A boxed lunch will be provided and included in your cart. 

For additional details about the day’s event and to register electronically please visit our St. Monica Golf Classic website at   www.stmonicasea.org – click “St. Monica Golf Classic”.  In addition to an excellent day of golf, we are planning a wonderful evening of great food, good friends, prizes and awards, a celebration of Fr. Bowman and a mini auction of sorts!

Over the last four years the tournament has cumulatively raised over $42,000 for the St. Monica School Endowment Fund.  This year we are hoping to raise in excess of $10,000 but we need your help and support!  For additional information and history of the endowment, please visit the golf tournament website.

Your entry fee this year will be $200 per person, which will include18 holes of golf with riding cart, (shamble format), unlimited access to the driving range, raffle tickets, a boxed lunch, and finished off with a catered awards dinner banquet at the end of the event.     We will cap the evening off with a celebration of Fr. Bowman’s retirement as a pastor!

If you are not a golfer we still encourage you to join us for dinner and to celebrate Fr. Bowman’s retirement.  The dinner only option this year is $60 per person and includes an incredible assortment of delicious food  (Marinated Flank Steak, Mediterranean Chicken Breast, Baked Lasagna, Penne and Linguini Pastas with Marinara, Pesto and Alfredo, Caesar Salad, Italian Chop Salad, Assorted Breads and Sliced Fresh Fruit Display). The dinner hour will begin between 5:00 and 5:30pm.

The event is also a great opportunity for your family or company to show its support for St. Monica by sponsoring a foursome, donating prizes/gifts for the raffle, or by selecting a sponsorship level that suits your budget.  If you would like to find out more about the sponsorship opportunities that are available, please go to the tournament website www.stmonicasea.org click “St. Monica Golf Classic” or contact Chris Vacca as soon as possible, as the number of sponsorship opportunities is limited. Additionally, a great way to help to grow this important event is to invite someone that you know to join us. Put together a foursome, enjoy the camaraderie, and prepare for a great afternoon this September.

If you have an interest in volunteering for the tournament, please let us know.  We will definitely need volunteers to help out on the day of the tournament.

In looking back at past years volunteers and sponsors, we want to truly thank those of you that have been so generous and supportive of this effort year in and year out!  We hope the trend continues this year and for years to come.  You all are making a difference and providing for the future of the school!!

Thank you in advance for your support.  We are very excited about this year’s tournament and hope to see you all there.

Respectfully,
