Swing into Action

Highlands United Methodist Church is looking to the links to boost its ambitious expansion program.
Golfers from throughout the Plateau will gather at Cullasaja Country Club at 11:00 A.M. Monday, August 28, to get in a few practice shots before they begin their play at noon.
In case of rain, the teams will gather on September 18.
Twenty-two four-person teams will vie for bragging rights for “best golfer of the day.” Because there are a limited number of spaces, you’ll want to register early. Call the church at (828) 526-3376 or go online at highlandsmethodist.org to get the registration form. Registration is $200 per person or $800 per Team. A boxed lunch will be available at the beginning of the round, and the fun-filled day will culminate with a buffet dinner at 6:00 P.M. Guests may join players for the buffet for $40.
This friendly competition will raise funds for Highlands United Methodist Church’s new Faith and Fellowship Center, which will provide much-needed space for the church’s expanding ministries and community programs. HUMC’s facilities house The Gordon Center for Children and Youth, Highlands Preschool, The Students After-School Program, The Food Pantry, Mountain High Dulcimers, The JOY Group for Seniors, scouting ministries, family counseling and others.
The Golf Outing is made possible by Presenting Sponsors Bobby Grace Putters and HALO Windows and Doors. All entrants will receive a Bobby Grace putter. Additionally, Franklin Ford and Mitzi Rauers of Berkshire Hathaway Home Services are Hole-in-One Sponsors on all Par 3 holes and one hole with the prize being a 2017 Ford Escape. There will also be Closest to the Pin and Longest Drive Prizes as well. Numerous local businesses are showing their support for this fund-raising effort by being Hole Sponsors. If your business would like to participate, call the Church Office.
If you aren’t a golfer or aren’t able to participate but want to donate, mail your donation to HUMC Capital Fund at P O Box 1959, Highlands, NC 28741 or go online.
