Bartlett Golf Outing

"FORE!"

On Thursday, July 24, we held the Twelfth Annual Jerry Bartlett Golf Outing for the scholarship fund in his name at Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp.  The outing was held at Dunham Hills Golf Club and was attended by 26 golfers.  We raised $670 for the scholarship fund and shared some terrific camaraderie.  Our winning foursome was Bob Ambrose (Bloomfield Hills Schools), his son Eric (just graduated in music ed. from CMU), and Sue and Gary Konarska (Carlson-Wagonlit Travel in Ann Arbor).  Sue and Gary also donated a new driver which was won by Scott Wolf (International Academy) in our raffle.  The longest drive competition for women was won by Nancy Reed (behind the scenes MASTA and MSBOA supporter), and for men Chuck Martens (Shar Products).  The closest to the pin honors went to Haig Avsharian (Shar Products).  A special thank you to Haig Avsharian,Shar Products, and Bill Gourley, Marshall Music, for the donation of all of the prizes.  Thank you also to Scott Wolf who helped David Reed in organizing this year's event.

For next year's outing, we are going to shoot for a day right after school gets out, in mid to late June, somewhere in the Mid-Michigan area.  We are considering using the next Jerry Bartlett Outing to raise funds for the Michigan Youth Arts Festival.  Anyone who wishes to help organize this event and/or would be willing to help secure prizes and sponsorships please contact David Reed by email at dar4music@comcast.net.  This event is not just limited to members and the proceeds have a great benefit to our students.  Keep your eyes open for future announcements regarding upcoming outings and we'd love to encourage even greater participation.


Here are some pictures from the golf outing.


Sincerely, David Reed
