Eagles Crossing Golf Course, Carlisle

Why: To promote fellowship and to benefit the Thrivent Builds with Habitat for Humanity construction of a home for the Snouffers. Invitations have been sent to representatives from the other Lutheran churches participating in this build.
First Lutheran is hosting this outing. The scramble format (all players play the best ball of their foursome) allows golfers of all skill levels to contribute and have a good time.
The cost is $50.00 per person, which includes cart, unlimited range balls, prizes, a silent auction and a meal with beverages after the round. A portion of the proceeds will go toward our fundraising efforts for this year’s Habitat for Humanity build. Checks should be made out to “First Lutheran Church” with “Golf Outing” on the memo line.
Registration forms are available in the narthex and the church office. Completed registration forms and payment should be turned in to the office or mailed/given to Dave Haag, PO Box 265, Carlisle, PA 17013. Deadline for registration is Tuesday, May 6. Golfers can register as a group and play together, or register individually and foursomes will be organized at the course.
We look forward to a great time at a great golf course. If you have any questions, call Dave or Elaine at 249-3310. We hope to see you there on May 9th!!
