34“ Annual WPA Golf Tournament a Scholarship Gays Chestnut Ridge Golf Resort & Conference Center Blairsville, Pennsylvania • July 7-8, 2017 COME AND JOIN US for a fun, fraternal weekend when WPA hosts our 34th Annual Golf Tournament & Scholarship Days, July 7 and 8. Our tournament returns to the Chestnut Ridge Golf Resort & Conference Center in Blairsville, Pa. The tournament will be played on the resort's Chestnut Ridge Golf Course. We'll kick off the weekend late Friday afternoon 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, the tournament festivities begin with the annual Friday night golfers' reception and Monte Carlo Night in the hotel. The reception/Monte Carlo Night is free to golfers and one guest. Non-golfing guests can attend Friday evening events for $10. Those planning to attend MUST pre-register for the reception (see form opposite page). The evening will feature delicious food and refreshments, exciting games of chance, incredible prizes, the ever-popular Chinese auction, a putting contest for adults and a marshmallow putting contest for children. 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 grounds immediately following the tournament. Accommodations for the weekend will be at the Hampton Inn & Suites. Room rates are $129 (plus tax) 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 May 29 to get the WPA rate. Use the group code "WPA." You can also make your hotel reservations by going online at http://bit.ly/lkH57CX or by scanning the code on the registration form with your smart phone. The tournament entry fee is $110 for WPA members and $120 for non-members.

Tickets for the barbeque are $40 for WPA adult members age 16 and older, $50 for adult nonmembers, $12 for teens ages 12 to 15, and free for children ages 11 and under.

Once again, the tournament will feature the exciting Hole-In-One Contests. All eligible members who score a hole-in-one at the designated par-3 hole during tournament play will win a $15,000 cash prize. Any non-member who scores an ace on the designated hole will win $7,500. Plus, cash prizes will be awarded to golfers who score a hole-in-one on any of the course's other par-3 holes during tournament play. On those holes, eligible WPA members will win $5,000, while non-members can take home $2,500. 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. By "eligible member" we mean a golfer who is an adult life benefit member of William Penn Association by June 23, 2017, with at least one year's premiums paid.
