We, as a Chapter, want to do our very best to support this deserving cause. The golf outing will be a Best Ball tournament and is open to all CPCU's and anyone who is currently testing for CPCU. We're challenging Chapter members to get potential completers signed up and involved. Several businesses have donated $100.00 to sponsor a hole; however, we are still in need of additional sponsors. This is your opportunity to show your support for a good cause and have a great time. Whether you're an accomplished golf pro or have never hit a golf ball before, we're looking for everyone to get involved. To pre-register and/or become a sponsor, contact Barb Sullivan at 225-5445 or send her an e-mail at bsullivan@fbfs.com.
