Tee it up for a Good Cause
13th Annual Jefferson Carnegie Library Golf Tournament
October 29, 2011
Hey golfers, tee it up for a good cause – the 13th Annual Jefferson Carnegie Library Golf Tournament to be held at Rusty Rail Golf Club in Jefferson Texas on October 29, 2011.
Call to reserve your spot now. Tournament is limited to 64 players. Contact Rusty Rail Golf Club at 903-665-7245.
Don’t golf? You can still support the Library by becoming a Hole Sponsor for $100. The sponsorship includes signage at your hole, recognition at the awards banquet and in the Jimplecute newspaper. Learn more by contacting the Library.
Registration will run from 7:00-8:00 a.m. and they will tee off promptly at 8:00 a.m. with a shotgun start. Four person teams. Don’t have a foursome? Don’t worry, they will pair you up with a team.
Take your best shot at a chance to win a 2012 Chevrolet Volt for the Hole-in-One on hole #2, sponsored by EXCEL Chevrolet of Jefferson. Hole-in-one prizes on three other par-three holes will also be given away. This year’s raffle will include a new Odyssey White Hot two-ball putter by Calloway. Many other great items will be in the raffle.
Registration is $45 per player which includes lunch by Stephen and Vanda Joseph of Riverport Bar-B-Que, chances on the hole-in-one contest, string game which may be just as extravagant as w88, free beverages and awards at the luncheon. Generally, the event wraps up by 1:00 p.m.
This event is the only annual fundraiser of the Friends of the Library that provides operating funds to the Library.
Just for fun, come on out for a swinging good time. You can even use these no deposit bonus codes for bitstarz if you want to gamble.
Many Americans first entered the worlds of information and imagination offered by reading when they walked through the front doors of a Carnegie library. One of 19th-century industrialist Andrew Carnegie’s many philanthropies, these libraries entertained and educated millions. Between 1886 and 1919, Carnegie’s donations of more than $40 million paid for 1,679 new library buildings in communities large and small across America. Jefferson’s library, built in 1907, is one of only five Carnegie Libraries serving its original function in Texas today.
Operating as a non-profit organization, the library board is committed to the preservation, maintenance and full usage of this historic landmark. The library depends on donations and the fund raising efforts of the Friends of the Jefferson Carnegie Library. All proceeds from the golf tournament will be used to operate the library and to preserve a part of history.

“21st ANNUAL TASTE OF JEFFERSON”
Dine as never before on Sunday, October 16, 2011 on Austin Street in historic Jefferson, Texas as the street becomes East Texas’ largest restaurant during the “21st Annual Taste of Jefferson”.
Local restaurateurs, café owners and non-profit organizations turn out samples of their finest foods for this mouthwatering event.
“Last year we served food to more than 800 visitors”, said Charles Chitwood, President of the Marion County Chamber of Commerce. “Once they bought their tickets, they could wander up and down the street, choose their favorite dishes, then head back for more – if they had any room left.”
The street-long feast serves up every imaginable sample from soup to a full meal. Visitors can start with a soup or salad (or both), pick innumerable entrée samples, and then top it off from a dizzying assortment of desserts.
Austin Street will be closed to through traffic so bring comfortable shoes for the three-block buffet.
Tickets are: Adults, $5 for children ages 5-11.
The Taste of Jefferson is sponsored by the Marion County Chamber of Commerce .
Lunch will be served Sunday, October 16 from 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 pm.
