Wabash Rotary Club continues its long tradition of kicking off the Wabash County United Fund campaign with a benefit Golf Outing on September 11, 2019. The Golf Outing will begin with lunch at noon hosted by Miller’s Merry Manor with a shotgun start at 1:00 p.m. at the Honeywell Golf Course.
“We are always especially excited to kick off the campaign with Wabash Rotary. It is such a wonderful opportunity for the business community to support community programming.” stated executive director of the United Fund, Steve Johnson. “and they get to enjoy a great afternoon of golf.”
Many individuals, groups and organizations in Wabash County work to improve the quality of life for all. The Wabash Rotary Golf Outing joins United Fund in the fight for the education, health and financial stability of every person in every community in Wabash County. Together, the individuals and businesses that participate in the outing will generate funds in support of local social service organizations.
Miller’s Merry Manor is proud to be a big part of the Wabash United Fund Golf Outing for many years by serving the food at the event. Jami Bartel, LPN, Miller’s Merry Manor Senior Admission Director, United Fund planning committee and Wabash Rotary Club president has been helping with this event the last 2 years but attending the last 6 years. “I am proud and excited to be a part of such a great event for the Wabash community. It is a fun day that I get to enjoy with fellow Rotary members as we work to better the Wabash area. This event meets the Rotary 4-way test, which is what we all stand for and represent. It is a great time for the agencies and the golfers (donors) to be able to interact and get to know each agency’s cause. We look forward to this year and many more to come.”
All proceeds from the event will be donated to the United Fund, which in turn will be invested back into the community through financial support to local non-profit agency programs. One unique aspect of the Rotary Golf outing is that representatives from each of the funded agencies will be located throughout the golf course to meet and greet the golfers as they play through.
This year’s Hole-in-One Sponsor is Dorais Chevrolet, Buick, GMC with insurance coverage provided by INGUARD. Chittick Insurance will be the exclusive Cart Sponsor. Rotarians David Mann and Mark Frantz join Bartel and Johnson, UF intern Alecia Rapp and administrative assistant Toby Smith to round out the planning committee for this year’s event.
Wabash County United Fund Board President, Marilyn Custer-Mitchell expressed appreciation to Wabash Rotary, stating “Thank you, Wabash Rotary Club for supporting United Fund. Your efforts show how local people can help struggling families in need”.
