2009 CVS/Pharmacy Challenge Volunteer

The LPGA will be returning to Blackhawk the week of September 21-27. The past two years our EWGA chapter has been in charge of the marshals for hole #9, led by Alice Miller. Signups are now open online and if we get enough people we can once again volunteer to take hole #9.

When signing up please be sure to note you are EWGA. We will accept anyone with golf experience, they do not have to be an EWGA member. Alice asks that you email her to let her know you have signed up so she can make sure you are working with the EWGA team.
 
For information click on www.cvslpga.com and complete the volunteer application: https://events.r2it.com/volunteer/cvschallenge/2009
