This event is being put on to bring our community together for one general purpose:

Yes, being a fundraiser, there is a charge to attend. However, do not let that keep you away. Donate what you can...The most important thing is that you attend and show your support for saving this venerable course...We look forward to having you join us.

I don't mean to be critical, but a cost to attend is usually included with the advertisement of a fundraiser. If there is a cost to attend, how much is it? I would like to tell other people. Or is it whatever one could afford? Than for many that would be one dollar, times are hard. Some of us would like to avoid embarassment and know ahead of time. And, I can't read what I am writing because of a video covering part of my comment box. No way to clear it off.

Kathleen, I don't see any kind of admission charge on the offical invitation.

Butch Larroche said...

There is no cost to attend. Donations will be solicited but donating will be voluntary. The biggest thing is that people attend to show the SF Supes that are supposed to be in attendance that golf and Sharp Park is not dead. Come one, come all.

Kathleen Rogan said...

Ok, Great. We are coming and donating.

Kathy Meeh said...

Looking forward to meeting you Kathleen...anyone with the first name Kathleen and the last name Rogan has got all right with at least two of us that I can think of. Should be a fine event and in good company.

And thanks for donation clarification as well Butch.

Kathy Meeh said...

Wow, this event was crowded, parking lot filled, cars parked back to Sharp Park Road; people standing overflow outside the back door and into the dinning room.

I dropped by, left a donation, said hello to two people I knew and left. Hope others got-in closer. Think the event must have been a big benefit success for SF Golf Alliance.

A big THANK YOU to all that attended this event. Us golfers appreciate the show of support from all of you. I would guess the attendance at close to 300 people.

Thank you for coming,
