15th Annual Golf Scholarship Fundraiser

Underscores the Power of the Network

     Even in the toughest of economic times, 152 golfers managed to show their support for the New Mexico Facility Managers Network in its effort to raise money for scholarships at Central New Mexico Community College and the University of New Mexico by golfing in 90-plus degree heat at the beautiful Isleta Eagle Championship Golf Course on July 17^th, 2009.  Their personal reward for their participation was a great day of camaraderie, spirited competition, food and beverages, and avalanches of door prizes walking out the door with players and golf-helpers alike.

     The loyalty from the organization’s members and constituents is the one constant factor in the annual event’s continued success.  Distinct contributions, both large and small, from countless companies and outstanding individuals personalized the yearly gathering.

     Again the trend towards companies fielding multiple teams of golfers continued as they competed in the Championship Division to win the esteemed travelling gold trophy.  But the golfers in the ABCD Scramble Division enjoyed the outing too.

     Four 10-foot tables loaded with valuable door prizes cheered up even the worst golfers as the spoils were handed out during the post-golf buffet.  Power tools, hand tools, golf gear, a garage door-opener, private box seats to special events and concerts, and restaurant gift certificates were among the many items donated by the loyal supporters of the New Mexico Facility Managers Network.  No one left empty-handed.

     First-timer Dawn Gurule with Ashcraft Mechanical quipped, “WOW!  Great friendly folks, beautiful greens and clubhouse, delicious food and drinks and door prizes for all.  Thanks to the New Mexico Facility Managers Network for pulling us all together.”
