⛳ Volunteers Needed! ⛳

Hi everyone! We’re looking for a few more volunteers to help at the Rita Matteo Memorial Scholarship Golf Outing on Sunday, August 2nd.

🏌️ Hole-in-One Spotters Needed!

It's one of the easiest (and most exciting!) volunteer jobs of the day:
👀 Watch the tee shots on our Hole-in-One contest hole.
🎉 If someone makes a hole-in-one, let us know!

No golf experience required—just a great attitude and a willingness to help make our outing a success.

If you have a few hours to spare and would like to support the scholarship, we'd love to have you!

📩 Send us a message or comment below if you're interested.
