Thinking of starting the golf outing back up that I would host. One thing that was important to Nancy Bartkowiak Pape was we raised money to help children born with cleft lips outside the USA. In the USA, a child will get the needed surgery. That is not the case outside the USA.

All funds would go to help people born with cleft lips.

In order to make it work, I would to like to see if 10 people would offer to put together one or two foursomes.

Outing likely would be in early August before kids go back to college.

Post under this thread if you are willing to put together a foursome or sponsor a hole or another sponsorship opportunity. We will also need volunteers to help put on the event too. Let us know if you are willing to help too.

Costs will be reasonable for golfing and sponsorship opportunities.

If you attended past golf outings, we will make this even better than what we put together in the past.
