My best friend, Mary Weeks, who lives in Snoqualmie, is putting a fund raiser together with Mt. Si Golf Course to benefit the flood victims in Snoqualmie. I know many of my own friends love to golf here so I’m sending this out to a few who might want to participate. I know it will be a rousing success and, if you are available and interested, I encourage you to contact her and join the event. If you know anyone who also might be interested, please forward this to them. I know many of us know victims who lost A LOT in the floods and are desperate.
Warm Regards, Suzanne Wiggins-Ackerson
Dear friends and family
As you know, the Snoqualmie Valley has been hit twice this winter by terrible flooding. The floods have not only done damage to homes, but to businesses as well. One business that is dear to my heart is the Mt. Si Golf Course. They have had over $25,000 damage to their "elk" fence alone. Because of all this destruction, Sherrie Liebsack and I asked ourselves "what can we do to help?" We approached Matt Campbell at Mt. Si Golf Course with the idea of having a golf event to raise money to help them with their repairs. He was touched by our offer, but declined it saying "their are so many more people in the valley that have suffered more than us." So, Sherrie and I altered our direction. We are co-chairing a "Links to the Heart" event sponsored by Mt. Si Golf Course. It will be a four person scramble golf tournament, followed by a wonderful casual dinner and auction. This is not a high pressure event........the focus is to have fun and raise money for those in need. Options are the whole package or separate for those who don't play golf or if you have plans and can only play golf. The cost is $40 per person plus green fees. This includes practice balls, dinner, and prizes. Golf carts will be available at a reduced rate of $10. If you are unable to attend, we will gladly accept donations for the auction or monetary donations.
Due to the urgency of the issue, this event is scheduled for Saturday, February 14th. Now, I know that this is Valentines Day........that's why I'm writing to you in advance. Valentines Day is about love..........what better way to show your love than to give to those in need. The money we raise will go directly to Encompass and to the food bank. Encompass is the local organization that is helping to take care of the needs of the flood victims.
