We would like the opportunity to invite you to be part of the 2nd Annual Mindy S. Lauf golf outing on August 15th at 8am. Mindy passed away almost 2 years ago of AML Leukemia and left behind a young daughter, Madysen. Mady participated in the Putnam County Hospice Good Grief Camp last year to help children who have lost a loved one learn to deal with the grief. At our 1st outing last year, we were able to raise over $3000.00 to help the camp. We have several sponsorship levels this year to help raise money and will also raffle off a set of Ping G 10 irons. I appreciate all help the Lauf family and friends can provide to help us reach our goal of raising $5000.00 this year.

Sponsorship levels:


Hole-In-One $500.00 Help someone walk away with $10,000 in cash. Your sponsorship for the Hole-In-One will pay an insurance premium that pays out the above amount if someone aces a par three.

Hole Sponsors $50.00 your company or family will be displayed on the tee box
To show all the participants your support and generosity.
　
Score Card Sponsors $200.00 3 company logo’s will be put on the score cards, will need the company logo emailed in Jpeg file.

Raffle Tickets We will have books of 6 tickets for $5.00 and our goal is to sell 250 books for a chance to win a set of Ping G 10 irons or equivalent money value spent at Country Acres, $715.00 value. Tickets will be sold up to the day of the outing and winner DOES NOT have to be present to win. If everyone could take these to work, school or just to family and friends it will help us reach our goal.


Please make all checks for sponsors out to Trina Lauf, we will have all the fliers and raffle tickets ready by the 27th. We will also need 4-6 volunteers to help out at the outing while the golfers are signing in at 730am, if anyone can help let me know. You can contact me at geminijazz07@yahoo.com of 614-774-9834.



Thanks

Here are some pictures of Mady at the camp this year, Julia was having issues with her camera so ignore the date on them.

GRAND TOTAL FOR THE CAMP

Thank you to all the teams, hole sponsors, companies that donated and the families. After all of our expenses, our grand total to donate to the Hospice Good Grief Camp for 2008 will be $3095.00

Linda, Sandy, Mady and Trina will be taking this over to Hospice on the 27th.

Everyone did a wonderful job at the outing, hope to see you all there again next year.

Special thanks to Will

Will was the force behind this outing, he only knew Mindy for a few years before she past away. My greatest memory of the 2 of them was when she left for Cleveland she made him promise to have a beer with her when she got back. Well, when Mindy came home she ended up back in the hospital so they didn't get to share that beer. The week before Mindy passed he came with me to the hospital and brought the beer for her. When he came in the room he showed her the beer and sat it on the shelf. Mindy sat up in bed and asked him, "Did you bring your bleach bottle? This room needs cleaned." For those of you that don't know him that well, Will is a neat freak. They both had a good laugh out of that one and he always tells the story. I know I would not have been able to make it through those last few months of her life and this past year without him. He is always there reminding me of Mindy, letting me know she is in a better place and that Dad and her are watching over us all.


Will decided back in May the best way to honor Mindy was to put on this outing for the friends and family and help raise money for a good cause. He lined up the course, prizes and hole sponsors. He worked with Prairieview, C&G, X107.5 and several other places to make her outing the best it could be. I know he has put alot of thoughts and efforts into the outing this year.

I've gotten calls from Sandy, Linda and Aunt Kay telling me what a wonderful job he did. Plus alot of emails from the cousins. We all want to thank you for what you did in Mindy's memory and know the Lauf family will always be thankful to you.

Love,
Trina and the Lauf family.

Honorable Mentions

Brennan, youngest golfer.












Old Man, oldest golfer and 1st time golfer!!!!! I'm sure he paid for it over the next couple of days. Uncle Donny, complained alot about the game but I'm sure he had alot of fun.














Jackie gets the award for the lowest score, sorry Will corrected me HIGHEST score, but she was a good sport. Prairieview donated a day at the course so she could get some practice in for next year.

Most beer consumed would have to be a tie between Will's team of 4 and Danny and Kenny by themselves.

Jackie is also awarded the most colorful golfer at the outing.
