Oregon AFSCME Corrections members are invited to participate in the third annual Correctional Peace Officers Foundation (CPOF) golf tournament on Saturday, Aug. 18. The tourney is a fundraiser to help support CPOF's mission to perpetuate the memory of those killed in the line of duty, provide for spouses, children or other beneficiaries and project a positive image of the Corrections profession, both internally and to the general public.

 

The tournament will be held at Sandelie Golf Course in West Linn. Registration at the course begins at 7 a.m., with an 8 a.m. start time. It is a four-person scramble format, and includes 18 holes of golf, a riding cart, prizes, lunch and other various awards. Amongst the on-course competitions — in addition to the usual long drive, closest to the pin and such — will be a $10,000 hole-in-one contest.

 

Both Council 75 and AFSCME Local 405 (Coffee Creek Security) are official tournament co-sponsors, and as such AFSCME gets three teams in the event. If you're interested in playing, you should e-mail Tom Donaldson immediately. To absolutely assure that you are assigned a cart you should contact Donaldson by Aug. 2.

 

McDonald notes the tournament would welcome other AFSCME teams. A tournament registration form with full details is attached to this article.
