🏌️♀️🏌️Golf and Habitat enthusiasts needed! We are looking for 2-3 volunteers to lead our efforts for our Benefit Golf Outing next year on June 10, 2023!
👉👍We need folks who care about affordable housing in Benzie County and are willing to take on this short-term fundraising initiative from roughly February - June of next year! This will involve getting letters and sponsorships to local businesses, managing golf registration, and then day-of coordination.
💃🕺And no reinventing the wheel here! We had an amazing outing last month and have a great template and timeline to follow for next year!
🤷♀️🤷Interested? Know someone who might be interested?! Email Jackie Luedtke Borozan at volunteer@benziehabitat.org!
