Fundraisers

In order to support the many things that we do, we need to make money.  These “work projects” are not only a source of revenue, but provide members with a variety of challenges and accomplishments.  Our three main projects are:

1)        Annual Golf Tournament

¨ Held every August at Cronins’ Golf Resort.

¨ This has become a real premier golf event.

2)       Annual Garage Sale

¨ Held every July.

¨ On front lawn of Chester Town Hall.

3)       Entertainment Books

¨ Popular sales of books full of coupons for local businesses.
