Don’t miss out on the AIACV Golf Tournament!

MHill — Thu, 17 May 2012 23:14:38 +0000

Spots are filling up for the the Chapter’s annual Golf and Tennis Tournament scheduled for Friday, June 22^th, 2012!
We are excited to be back at the beautiful Cameron Park Country Club for golf. Tennis will be held at Broadstone Racquet Club in Folsom again this year.

Our annual tournament was wildly successful last year and rated as the “best ever” by AIACV members. We’re looking to make this year even better!

To register (or sponsor) click here for an event flyer.

For those interested in sponsoring…the tournament provides a unique opportunity to spend an entire day with Chapter members and others in the design community, relaxing and networking. Today, personal contact is more important than ever!

Here are a few ideas to consider:

- New this year: sponsor an AIACV member’s golf play and play at the member price.

- Become an on-course sponsor. You and/or your staff can provide food/drink, a giveaway item with your company logo or business card or plan a fun contest right on the course!

- Provide a small item for our tee prize bags, along with a message or logo identifying your product or service. Participants in the tournament keep and use these items long after the event has passed.

Historically this tournament sells out, so don’t hesitate ~ sign up today!

For more information, please call 916-444-3658 or e-mail Marina Hill, Administrative & Events Coordinator.
