I would like to provide some information about the 5th annual Post 217 golf tournament which will be held on Sunday, September 26th at Willow Hollow Golf course (tee time 1 PM).  The Ray Masters American Legion Post 217 in Topton sponsors the Patriots Sr. & Jr. Legion baseball teams, which consists of players from the Oley Valley & Brandywine Heights school districts.  The Patriots Post 217 Board of Directors for the baseball programs consists of members from Post 217, the Oley Valley Youth League and Brandywine Youth Baseball Association.  This golf tournament serves as our annual fundraiser for the Oley/Brandywine baseball boosters, which supports these teams financially in addition to the Post to offset the rising cost of playing American Legion baseball.  It is important to note that the Boosters club has typically also funded the Jr. Legion prep team in past years to help offset the costs for the 13-14 year old age group.  I would really appreciate your consideration of serving as an event sponsor or participating as a golfer!  Attached is a registration form/flyer for your use.  We would appreciate if anyone who is planning to or has participated in the Post 217 Legion baseball program help out with this fundraiser by distributing this flyer at local businesses, registering golfers to participate or approaching local businesses for sponsorship opportunities.  Deadline to register is September 18th.  Feel free to circulate this email.  We would love to have you and appreciate your help in supporting our program.

If you have any questions or are interested in participating or sponsoring, please do not hesitate to contact me atmreinert@technicon2.com.  We look forward to seeing you on September 26th!
