Notice:

For nineteen years, the Metrowest Detachment has conducted a golf tournament that has been the primary fundraiser for our charitable outreach.  One key to the success of this event has been the support of local merchants and service providers who have contributed via advertising, donations, and sponsorships.  Recognizing that these dedicated supporters are either unable to conduct business at all, or facing greatly reduced business, we believe that it would be unfair and inappropriate to solicit financial support at this time.  With continued gratitude to our supporters, the detachment leadership has voted to suspend the golf tournament for this year.  We encourage everyone to continue to consider these vendors when you make your purchasing decisions.

The other key to the success of the tournament has been the players.  Many golfers have played in this tournament since it began.  Through raffle tickets, auction donations, and buying "mulligans" they have provided outstanding support.  Regrettably, we do not anticipate coming together for a day of golf and festivity this year.  As the situation evolves, we will provide updates.  We appreciate the many years of golf and good times that you have shared with us.

April Meeting Notes:

In compliance with existing Coronavirus restrictions, a meeting was held using the Zoom platform.  With the agreement of the current leadership team, the decision was made to continue the coming year with the current team as the detachment is unable to hold the preferred in-person nominations and elections
