The 16th Annual
AFCEA/USO-Metro Golf Classic is set to tee off on Monday, July
28, 2008 at The
Golf Club at Lansdowne near Leesburg, Virginia. With
just 34 foursomes, this tournament is one of the most exclusive
and highly anticipated events of the year. The day begins with
breakfast and practice at 7:00 a.m., and a shotgun start at
8:00 a.m. on the new Norman Course. After golf, the tournament
includes a reception, awards luncheon and raffle drawings.
Only sponsors have the privilege of purchasing a foursome in
the tournament. For more information, please contact tournament
chairman Paul
Garver.
The 2007 AFCEA
Golf Classic, held at the Lansdowne Resort on July 30, 2007,
broke a new record, raising over $118,000 for USO-Metro programs
and services. Thanks to the event’s host, Microsoft, and the
tournament’s many sponsors, golfers enjoyed a raffle with fantastic
prizes, including golf clubs, gift certificates to local restaurants,
and--the Grand Prize--a weekend at the Marco Island Marriott
Resort Golf Club & Spa with airfare.
Through the outstanding
support of Washington, DC area corporate and military leaders,
the 2008 AFCEA Golf Classic is sure to be a huge success as
well. Don’t miss out on this wonderful opportunity to support
the troops through the USO of Metropolitan Washington. It’s
the best way to meet the needs of the men and women who dedicate
their lives to us and our country.
USO-Metro
provides services and programs for military personnel and their
families throughout Maryland, DC and Northern Virginia. USO-Metro
is able to accomplish all that it does because its reach is so
wide, including six outreach centers located in military housing
areas and four USO airport lounges at BWI, Dulles, Reagan National,
and Andrews Air Force Base.
Perhaps most importantly,
USO-Metro works every day with recuperating patients and their
families at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and National Naval
Medical Center in Bethesda. From support groups, outings and
“homes away from home” for the families of injured service
personnel, to on and off-site special events for those able
to travel, to celebrity handshake tours for patients undergoing
treatment in the hospitals, the USO of Metropolitan Washington
helps to ensure that the morale of both patients and their
loved ones remains positive throughout their recovery.
