2008 Annual Golf Tournament

On Tuesday, May 20th - we held our annual golf tournament at Pine Creek Golf Course in Mt. Juliet. After a lot of work and so much participation on behalf of the players and sponsors - we had another successful event. This year we did a few things differently, the most important one being - instead of having one benefactor, we had two!

We selected The Mt. Juliet Help Center and the Humane Association of Wilson County to benefit from this years tournament - two very worthy organizations here in Wilson County. In the past, our selected organization would benefit from the tournament by the Association presenting a check to them. That is still our plan, however this year we wanted to do more. We wanted to do something that would involve getting more people involved. Our plan was introducing "Project Wish Box". Numerous boxes were placed at participating business in Wilson County and for 2 months employees and patrons of these businesses donated items to fill these boxes with needed items to go to both of our benefactors - and these business did not disappoint. After collecting the boxes and the donations at the golf tournament - we were able to donate over 720 pounds of food to the Mt. Juliet Help and 2 truck loads of items to the Humane Association. So, needless to say - this was a huge success! Many thanks go to those who gave.

Many thanks also go out to all of the players and sponsors of our tournament. It is your participation that allows us, EMTAR, to present our benefactors with a monetary gift. Our players are made up of REALTORS, Lenders, Attorneys, Builders, friends, spouses, and many other affiliates that make up our Association. Our tournament is planned for two reasons; to give to a worthy cause and also provide an event where all of us can come together and enjoy each others company away from the normal day in day out stress of every day business. We are able to put faces to names, along with making many new acquaintances in our field of work.

The EMTAR Annual Golf Tournament has grown in name recognition for being one of the most fun and well planned tournaments in the area. Our players enjoy a day of being catered too, from pulling up to bag valet to enjoy the snacks and refreshments provided by the hole sponsors . Many door prizes and contest awards are handed out at the end of the day, while everyone finishes up dinner. It is truly a FULL day.
