DIA-OFA annual Golf Outing set for June 14th at Polo Fields Ypsilanti/Ann Arbor


All,
The annual DIA-OFA Golf Outing will be hosted by the Polo Fields in Ypsilanti/Ann Arbor on Thursday, June 14, 2002.   
Here’s a link to their website - http://www.polofieldsccmi.com/Golf-(1)/Washtenaw.aspx
They are bending over backwards to give us exactly what we want at a very fair price.  This is a private country club.  Very impressive for that very important customer or group.
We have also found a beautiful, competitive hotel right around the corner for our out of town guests.

 
Jeanne

It was a pleasure meeting with you yesterday to discuss your outing.  I have had a chance to review your needs and we can provide the following:

18 holes of golf with a car
11 or 12 shotgun
out door grill lunch
beer, pop, water, snacks on the course (2 carts with beverages for your volunteers to hand out beverages)
9 hour select bar
Dry snacks after golf—popcorn, chips and salsa
Plated filet and chicken dinner

Roaming PGA Pro
Massage Therapist prior to golf
Free use of the range

I will also give you two twosomes of golf good for either course as a prize.  Donna is looking into a tee gift.  I will let you know what she comes up with.
