I would like everyone to know that if you are a member, here at WACC, we will be recording scores for the Club Championship soon. This year we will be allowing members to come anytime during the week, from September 22nd through September 28th to play (18) holes of golf. Your round must be played with someone who can verify your score, preferably with another member.

You need to play all (18) holes at the same time, and only played once. Your Championship Round will be played from the White and Blue tee markers. After play is complete, please bring your scorecard to the clubhouse and turn it in to us. There will be a LOW GROSS WINNER and a LOW NET WINNER.

The MITCHELL PHILBROOK SCHOLARSHIP FUND GOLF TOURNAMENT will be played here at WACC, next Saturday, September 12th (a week from tomorrow).

That day the course will be closed to public play for golf and if there are disc golfers that would like to play, you may go out to play but golf carts will NOT be available.

There will be 25 teams of (4) participating for bragging rights as the winner of the tournament this year! The team slots are currently full but if you have a (4) person team that would like to participate, please don't hesitate to ask to be put on a waiting list in case a team cancels.

We are also continuing to take items to raffle that day, or monetary gifts if that is something you would rather do. The money raised is used to help young people who would like to pursue a career in a trade. It is a wonderful way we can all help to encourage our young people toward their future.

Please come by and participate in the raffles or auctions. That will be a big help and fun as well!

If you would like to help, or have any questions, please call me, MERT, at (207)785-3159 or email me: [email protected].

Our thoughts and prayers remain with all who continue to struggle in unimaginable ways with this tragedy. Our hearts go out you. Thank you to all who have, and still are, willing to risk your life at any given moment for our Community and our Country. Ray Bartlett and all at WACC

IF YOU ARE PLAYING ON A TEAM IN THE SCRAMBLE THAT DAY, WE NEED YOUR ENTRY FEE FOR THE TEAM (EACH PLAYER) , PAID BY AUGUST 21ST !!!!! NO LATER THAN THE END OF THAT DAY.

Next, if you are a sponsor for this tournament, we need your fee paid by that same day, AUGUST 21ST, BY THE END OF THAT DAY. That is LESS than 2 weeks away. If you are a new sponsor, or previous sponsor that is changing things up, we will need your logo OR the words that are to be written on your sign or banner by August 28th of this month. That will be end of day on that Friday.

We really appreciate the huge support you all bring in support of Mitchell's memory, and your willingness and ability to help others through this wonderful day and scholarship fund. We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
