Dear BCA Members:  

It is getting to be that time of year again and our big event of the season, our Annual Golf Outing and Crab Feast in Ocean City is right around the corner. Please mark your calendar for Thursday Sept. 23 , 2010  for the big day. I am sure most of you had this put down the day after you got back from last year's outing. This is not Bike Week and it is for those who wish to stay the weekend Sun Feast Weekend. If you have never been to this event in O.C. before I highly recommend it. Also if you book a room at The Clarion, they will extend to you the room rates for the weekend.  

We will begin the event with a Shot Gun Start at 10:00 a.m. at Ocean City Golf and Yacht Club. The first 120 players will be put on the Newport Bay Golf Course and the balance of players will start on the Seaside Course. This is a first in, first reserved for Newport Bay. If you play the Seaside Course, you will still be in on the Tournament. This year's event we will sponsor a Putting Contest which will start at 9:00 a.m. at the Golf Course and the Putt Off for the Big Prize will take place 15 minutes before we tee off. So come early and participate in this fun contest.

We will have some skill prizes which will include the Straightest Drive for Men and one also for Women. We will have 2 closest to the pins as well.

Let me know via email at rdimarcantonio@dhlitter.com if you can bring a gift for a door prize. Let me know what it is and of course your company name so we make sure you get credit for your great support. This is very important and helps us to make this event very special. We try to make sure everyone goes home with a gift!

We are asking for Golf Balls, Tees, Towels etc. that can be put on everyone's Golf Cart so If you can donate any of these items, please let me know.  

Also we will have a table set up in the Hospitality Suite each night for those of you that want to place your business card on the table and any company literature that people might want to have someone view about your company. This is a little added benefit for coming to the affair!  

We are changing where the event will be held this year. We will be at The Clarion Resort at 10100 Coastal Hwy. This is 100th Street on the Ocean Side. This is a very nice Hotel with a lot of the same features as in the past and even more. The address is listed below:

 Rooms are now available for the event and they have set aside 70 rooms for us for Wed. night and 100 for Thursday night. The prices for rooms are as follows:  

$129.00 for a single

All the rooms are Ocean View and Bay View. Rooms are available now by calling 1-800-638-2100 and telling them that you are part of The Baltimore Chemical Club outing and that rate will be applied.  We have these 70 rooms for Wed. Sept. 22nd and Thursday Sept 23rd. Thirty days before the outing which is August 23rd the Clarion will start to release the remaining rooms that we have not sold. So please make your room reservations now to make sure you get in on this special rate.  

We are also working on getting BCA golf shirts with the BCA logo on it. If you are interested, let me know via email and what size you would need. We are trying to get them for a selling price of $25.00. I will have more details on this later but let me know if you are interested and if so again, what size or sizes you will need.  

We are asking for volunteers to help us run this outing. We are planning on having a putting contest and need one person to help us for that event. As always, we will need help selling 50/50 tickets, selling raffle tickets, selling Mulligans, etc. Once again we will work on getting a set of clubs to raffle off as we have done in the past.  

This event takes a lot of planning and with your help it will run smoothly again this year as it has in the past. We need everyone to come and bring as many people as you can. I can remember when we had 195 for golf and 225 for dinner and that was not that many years ago. I know things are tough but consider it a mini-vacation at the beach and all for a good cause the BCA Scholarship.  

Look forward to seeing all of you again in Ocean City. You don't want to miss this one!
