The Golf Invitational is
fast approaching!
The 9th Annual Golf Invitational takes place on Friday, August
20th at the Manor Golf Course! The event is a fun-filled way to help hundreds
of youth throughout Berks County. All funds raised remain here to help us provide our four (4) mentoring programs
to at-risk youth throughout the county.
As usual, our Golf Invitational is a scramble format.
Registration between 12 noon and 12:45 pm on August 20th with a "shotgun" start at 1:00 pm. You can form your
foursome now! Registration is $340 per team or $85 per golfer.
The event includes Arby's MarketFresh sandwiches &
refreshments during registration; food & refreshments during the event (at the club house AND/OR you can catch one
of the food/refreshment golf carts traveling throughout the course); and a catered dinner (Moyer's Catering)
afterwards. Each golfer receives a THANK YOU gift and is eligible to win numerous door prizes throughout the event.
The top three foursomes are awarded prizes as well.
If you've golfed with us before, you might be asking...what about the Hole-In-One contest(s)?
Well, our appreciation to Bob Fisher Chevrolet for again sponsoring our Hole-In-One Contest.
You have a chance to drive away in a new car and more! We had our first-ever Hole-In-One winner at last year's event!
No, Greg Stuchel of Lititz didn't drive away in a new car...but he did walk away the winner of a 5-day/4-night stay at a Fairmont
Resort.

The 8th Annual Golf Invitational was a
HUGE success!!
A total of 17 teams took to the links at this year's event on August
21st at Manor Golf Course...and -- for the second consecutive year -- ParenteBeard LLC (formerly
Beard Miller Company) served as Title Sponsor. The law firm of Kent & McBride,
Walmart (Wyomissing), and Quadrant Engineering were contributing
Corporate Sponsors as well. In addition, 27 Hole Sponsors helped Big Brothers Big Sisters exceed this year's goal of $13,000!!
Despite a two-hour rain delay shortly after play began, it turned
into an exciting event for all. Besides Greg Stuchel and his amazing Hole-In-One win (see home page), a new team to
the event took the honors this year. Big Brothers Darrell Kohler and his team from West Side Wood
Products finished in 1st place with a score of 57 (13 under par)! Second place went to Team
Orr, followed by the Reading Eagle Press team in third. While West Side Wood Products,
a team from Feeney Funeral Home, and the team of DJ Starnes & Company were newcomers to the event -- the 8th Annual Golf
Invitational featured a number of returning teams besides Team Orr and Reading Eagle. They included: ParenteBeard
LLC (formerly Beard Miller Company), Godiva Chocolatiers, Lift Inc. Penn National Gaming, RAM Industrial Services, Giorgio
Mushroom, and VIST Financial.
Jay Oglesby
& Bob Fisher Chevrolet again sponsored the annual Hole-In-One contest. While no one won the 2009 Chevy Cobalt
that was up for grabs, we did -- as mentioned -- have our first ever Hole-In-One winner! In addition, golfers had plenty
of food and drink through the event...starting with the MarketFresh sandwiches donated by Arby's
and ending with a delicious meal from Moyer's Catering. Our deepest appreciation goes out
to all of the above companies who helped make this year's event a success...plus to the numerous businesses who provided the
agency with door prizes for our golfers.
And we -- of course --
can't forget those 27 Hole Sponsors without whom we would not have exceeded our goal. They include:
