***Second Annual Golf Tournament***

OSI will be hosting the Second Annual Golf Tournament on October 14, 2010 at the Chambersburg Country Club.

This event will benefit the operational expense fund for OSI. There will be a limit of 116 golfers in this tournament. We are looking for sponsors for this event and feel that this is a great opportunity for local businesses to join us in what we anticipate to be a very popular outing. Whether simply providing snacks or promotional items for the gift bags, sponsoring a hole, or becoming the gold sponsor, we look forward to working with you to make this tournament a success and promoting your business. Whether able to sponsor or not, we hope to see you on the course at the Country Club on October 14.

As with the inaugural event last year, we plan to start the morning with a hot breakfast served by the Woods Café. Snacks and beverages will be available throughout the day, and the Chambersburg Country Club will be serving a carved steak buffet after play. Two hot meals in one tournament! Three top prizes, contests, gifts, and door prizes will make for a great day on the course. Also, in keeping with tradition, each year the lowest scoring foursome will receive a custom embroidered golf shirt identifying the event, in this case – “OSI 2^nd Annual Golf Tournament 2010”, and the player’s name. The gold sponsor for the event will also have their logo embroidered on the sleeve. There will be only five shirts made each year, one for each of the winning foursome and one with all four names. The fifth shirt will be displayed at OSI throughout the year and at the subsequent tournaments.
