It’s time to swing into action to support LRAA! The LRAA golf tournament will be here before you know it! On Wednesday April 21, join us at the Golf Ranch located at 3570 Waterview, Richardson, 75080. Registration starts at 4:30 with tee- off at 5:30. It will be teams of two on this fun nine-hole par 3 course. Registration is already open, and it does look a bit different this year. We are utilizing the same software that we used for our New Class silent auction. To access the site you should have received a text message last Thursday from a random number like 243725. Another text message will go out Friday. Once you click on that link, it will take you to the main page. You will see a blue box that says ‘Donate Now!’ Please click on this if you want to make a donation to LRAA, but you do not want to play golf or sponsor a hole. If you want to play or volunteer then click the ‘Menu’ button on the top left of your screen. This should take you to the screen where you can purchase a ticket to play golf, register to volunteer, purchase mulligans, and pre-purchase additional drink tickets. Golfers - remember we are doing teams of two this year. Sponsorships are available too. You can click “Sponsorships” after clicking the menu tab to see those options. If you need an invoice for you or your company’s sponsorship, please email Taylor.AmyW@gmail.com directly. We can definitely get you invoiced. Any questions about the course and golf, reach out to Dickie Watkins at DickieWatkins34@gmail.com. Any questions about volunteering, the text/website registration, or sponsorships, contact Amy Taylor at Taylor.AmyW@gmail.com. We look forward to seeing you April 21! |
