UäälÜCBÖ WPA prepares for fantastic weekend of golf and fraternal fun COME AND JOIN US for a fun, fraternal weekend when WPA hosts our 29th Annual Golf Tournament & Scholarship Days, July 20 and 21. Our tournament returns to the Chestnut Ridge Golf Resort & Conference Center in Blairsville, Pa. The tournament will be played on the resort’s Tom’s Run Golf Course, the site of the 27th Annual WPA Golf Tournament in 2010. We’ll kick off the weekend Friday evening with the annual meeting of the William Penn Fraternal Association Scholarship Foundation at the Hampton Inn & Suites, located on the grounds of the golf resort. Following the meeting, all golfers and their families are invited to the golfers reception, which also will be held at the Conference Center. The evening offers a chance to make new friends and renew old acquaintances while enjoying free food and beverages. All golfers and guests MUST pre-register for the Friday night reception. Guests can participate in a Chinese auction, a 50/50 raffle and the popular Putting Contest. This year’s reception will also feature the return of the Chipping Contest, to be held just outside the hotel. Our 18-hole tournament will begin Saturday morning with a shotgun start. Play will be a straight scramble. Golfers will have the chance to win prizes as part of our traditional skill shot contests, including longest drive, longest putt, closest to the pin and closest to the line. All golfers will also enjoy the use of GPS-equipped carts and a sandwich and beverage at the turn. Our weekend’s activities will conclude with the annual golf barbeque to be held at the resort immediately following the tournament. Accommodations for the weekend will be at the Hampton Inn & Suites. Room rates are $119 per night based on double occupancy. All rooms will be reserved on a first-come/first-served basis and are subject to availability. Please note that all golfers and guests must make their own room reservations directly with the hotel by calling 724-459- 5920. You must make your hotel reservations by June 26 to get the WPA rate. Use the group code “WPP.” The tournament entry fee is $ 100. This fee includes green fees, bag service, locker room service, scoring done by the pro shop, GPS-equipped golf carts, a sandwich and beverage at the turn AND admission to the golf barbeque. Tickets for the barbeque are $40 for adults age 16 and older, $ 10 for teens ages 12 to 15 and free for children ages 11 and under.

If a hole-in-one is not scored on the $ 15,000 hole, a special $500 cash prize will be awarded to the eligible member who gets his or her tee shot closest to the pin on that hole.
