Group Sponsorships at Fairmont

Hey, DFOK Folks,

We are getting to a point in the Fairmont fund-raising process where things could be wrapped up pretty quickly, or they could drag out for a while. Either way, we need to remain active and organized.

DFOK, as a group, has already committed money it's raised (at the 3-headed monster tourney and various other ways) to sponsor half a fairway, and it will most likely be sponsoring another half. But members of DFOK have also become sponsors on their own.

For those of us who would like to do more, but don't have the funds available, there is another option: group sponsorships. Aaron Warnke got the ball rolling with $50 toward a group sponsorship. I am interested in doing the same thing, and I encourage others to join us.

Five people at $50 each sponsors half a fairway, and ten could sponsor a whole fairway.

As with all sponsorships, checks and cash will go directly to Riley County, and sponsors will receive an individualized receipt. I would like to collect a number of checks and turn them in all at once, to make things easier for the county and make sure we are clear on who is helping to sponsor what fairway (or half fairway).

DFOK has been working with the County on how the signs will look, and it seems as though there may be room for the individual names of group sponsors to be included. If space becomes too limited, we can always choose some kind of group name for the signs. Either way, we would be helping to move the project forward.

These sponsorships will be valid for as long as the course exists. For the cost of about 3 new discs, or one tournament entry, you can be part of something that will last a lifetime or more.

There aren't that many fairways left, so we should get on this. Please let me know -- soon -- if you are interested.

Thanks Jon for volunteering to coordinate this campaign within the campaign. I think it's a great way to get a lot of our local players in on the fun. Hopefully we can get 10 people to pitch in $50 each to knock out one more Full Fairway.

To get started we can do 5 at $50, then keep building on that same fairway to eventually get a total of 10 at $50. Just let me know what fairway your group has targeted so I can reflect that on my full course news postings.
