Suncoast
Branch
I would like to take this opportunity to
remind you of the importance our
annual golf tournament fundraiser has
on the overall success of our
organization. The Suncoast Branch
contributes annually to causes such as
student scholarships, the Toothpick
Bridge, Math ACES, and more, and
all of these contributions are raised
through our annual golf tournament.
I urge you to talk with your employers
about supporting the ASCE golf
tournament, through sponsorship,
participation, or volunteering. The
one and only message that I have for
you this month is to remind you that
the annual golf tournament is only a
month away and the success of our
organization
depends
on
a
successful event. Please find the
information for participating in the
golf tournament in the newsletter
and do what you can to support our
organization. If you are interested
in volunteering at the tournament
then
please
contact
Sonya
Fronckowiak for details.
Thanks for your continued support,
The Civil Times would like to wish the following SunCoast Members
a Happy Birthday!
