| CVTC Foundation is Hosting the Fourth Annual J.D. Powell Memorial Golf Tournament |
|
The Fourth Annual J.D. Powell Memorial Golf Tournament sponsored by the Coosa Valley Technical College Foundation will be played at Stonebridge on Thursday, September 26, 2002. Approximately 30 teams are slated to tee off at noon.
The staff and faculty of CVTC are gearing up to make this year’s tournament the best yet, despite last year’s success of $8,500 raised. The event promises fun, food, golf, awards and prizes. Heritage Pontiac, Buick, GMC, Honda will be sponsoring this year’s hole-in-one prize, a Buick Rendezvous.
In keeping with the Foundation’s mission to ensure that the College fulfills its promise to provide the very best in technical education, funds raised from the tournament are being used to provide assistance to CVTC students. Otis Raybon Jr., Chairman of the CVTC Foundation states, “Even though the HOPE Grant pays tuition and fees for many of our students, there are still times when additional financial assistance is needed. The proceeds from this tournament, played in memory of J.D. Powell, former president of the college, make it possible for students to complete their education.” This year’s proceeds will also be used to purchase equipment for CVTC programs, provide training for the faculty and staff and will enhance marketing and public relations efforts.
The Gold sponsors this year are Mohawk Industries Inc. and Pirelli Tire North America. The Corporate Sponsors thus far include By Design Lawn Care, Citizen’s First Bank, Davies Higher Education Services LLC, Fox Systems, Piedmont Furniture, Rome News Tribune, Rome Tool and Die Company, United Community Bank and Vend-Rite, Inc.
CVTC is one of Georgia’s leading technical colleges and is poised to continue to benefit the citizen’s of Northwest Georgia and Northeast Alabama. The efforts of the Foundation’s trustees will impact the college’s capabilities for many years in the future.
