Super Success Golf Event
When we undertook the 14th Annual Sa-
ron Lutheran Community Golf Tourna-
ment, we had specific goals:
1. Grow the number of participants by
reaching out into the community.
2. Increase the awareness of Saron Lu-
theran in our community.
3. Create an opportunity for fellowship
with members of our community.
4. Last, raise funds for our building’s ren-
ovation and repairs.
We accomplished ALL of our goals AND
MORE!
Through personal invitation, word of
mouth, posting flyers, community bill-
board and a newspaper article, we had a
total of 60 golfers! In attendance was the
Escalon Mayer Pro Team along with mem-
bers of both Escalon and Ripon law en-
forcement. Our youngest participant was
10 and our older was 92. We had a di-
verse group which included approximate-
ly 30 members of our church for a total at
least 90 people. We made contact with
more than 150 local businesses, inviting
them to participate, and were blessed
with so many generous donations.
Our Saron membership also stepped up to
donate their time and talents to this
event. Whether it was cooking and bring
food, setting up, hauling tables, gathering
donations, helping with registration, mak-
ing centerpieces, putting up flyers, graph-
ic design or any of the many other tasks
that needed to be completed, we got it
done.
Saron members attended and made our
new friends fell welcome. The feedback
from participants has been excellent. A
great time was had by all.
Golfers are already talking about next
year’s event!
If all that isn’t enough, we netted over
$6300 for our building’s repair fund!
What a success!!!
Thank you again for the many people who
worked so hard to show that Saron Luther-
an of Escalon is a thriving congregation
who is an integral part of the community.
Lisa Alessi
PS from Pastor Sheri
I want to thank Lisa Alessi for her organi-
zational skills, unfettered enthusiasm for
Saron as a faith community, and her ea-
gerness to share the work with many for
the sake of successful outreach. The
work putting it all together was enhanced
by many experienced hands from the pre-
vious 13 years. Rick and I were there on
Saturday morning and enjoyed the happy
golfers as they came in from the course. I
had many people ask about next
year. Looks like the 15th Annual Saron
Lutheran Community Golf Tournament will
return in 2020! Good job each person her
contributed to the day!
Pictures of our Members
We want to complete the bulletin board
with pictures of all of our members and
some are still missing. Please plan to
come to the Fellowship Hall on Sunday
June 30th and Terese will take your picture.
If you are unable to attend please send a
4x6 photo to the church office.
