Flag Day is June 14th
. On that day we will hold our Stars and Stripes Golf Tournament to benefit Chamber South's Military Affairs Committee and the good work we do for the military community of Miami-Dade. How can you support this mission? It's easy: put together a three-some. Yes, I know golf is played with foursomes, but in this instance we will provide the fourth player. It will be an active duty person from one of the branches of the service. Admiral Baumgartner (who was our guest speaker for the May breakfast) is looking forward to playing, as is the Wing Commander of the Homestead Air Reserve Base. So you will get the opportunity not only to support our military personnel but you also get the chance to find out what is happening in their respective branches of service.

 
If you're not a golfer, there are other opportunities. You can be a tee sponsor, or sponsor a military player. We'd like to see 24 teams fielded this year with one military person per team, but it cannot happen without YOU!  Click here to download the brochure.
