GOLF ANYONE?

Olean Rotary Club announces its 2nd Annual Golf Tournament to benefit the Marjorie and Robert Schaumleffel Rotary Scholarship  

In these uncertain times, “Service Above Self” is more important than ever before. To further achieve that motto, the Rotary Club of Olean is hosting its second Golf Tournament on Monday, August 15, 2022, at the Bartlett Country Club as a fundraiser for our Marjorie and Robert Schaumleffel Rotary Scholarship.
We are hoping that area businesses would be interested in being a Lunch Box Dinner, or Hole Sponsor; or donating an item for our prizes. The Marjorie and Robert Schaumleffel Rotary Scholarship is a $500 scholarship, in memory of Robert and Marjorie Schaumleffel, for any graduating senior of Olean, Portville, Archbishop Walsh or Allegany-Limestone who is an active member of the Rotary Interact Club. Applicants must include an essay about the meaning of "Service Above Self."    The Lunch Box sponsor fee is $750, the Dinner Sponsor fee is $1000, the Hole Sponsor fee is $200, and the Tee Box sign sponsor fee is $100. 
 
Rotary and its members have been a part of the fabric of the Olean-area community since 1928. Rotary’s current members patronize virtually all Olean-area businesses and have donated literally hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years to many Olean-area causes and organizations. For example, we have given mini grants to area teachers in Olean, Hinsdale and Allegany; given dictionaries to more than 300 area third graders; and served more than 300 dinners to veterans and the community.  Last year, we used a Rotary matching grant to replace the steps at the Olean Theater Workshop on Washington Street, and this year we are helping the Olean Food Pantry and SCPA to improve their facilities.
 
Having local businesses support our organization and our projects is part of what sets this community apart as a wonderful place to live and work. Thank you for your consideration. Your donation is greatly appreciated and will be listed in the program for the auction, media, and social media. The Lunch and Dinner Sponsors will be given extra recognition thought out the Rotary year and tournament. Thank you in advance for your assistance with this worthy event. All contributions will be used by the Rotary Club in furtherance of its mission of service to the local community.   
 
The net proceeds will support our Marjorie and Robert Schaumleffel Rotary Scholarship (CRCF-501c3). Make Checks Payable to Olean Rotary Club and for payments online please contract, Al Bernstein at alinolean@gmail.com by August 1, 2022.
