October, 2009 Newsletter
Fellow Amity Members,
I hope the summer has treated you well and you are ready for our final summer/fall outings. Since I last wrote a newsletter, we have lost one of our finest friends, Harry Hofberg. His memory will be carried eternally by the Amity faithful. At our next board meeting I will propose an annual memorial tournament “The Harry Hofberg Father Son Tournament” in his honor.
Speaking of tournaments, our final tournament for the year will be the Dennis Baer Tournament of Presidents at Lake Presidential. For those who have not played here yet, this course has been one of the most widely acclaimed in the Washington, DC area. We hope to get a large showing of all of Amity’s Past-Presidents.
Hopefully by this point you have seen our newly designed website. Wait… your in it! Poke around. Enjoy!
I want to thank Stuart Kushner for all the time he has dedicated to its design and operation. The new web-site includes many new technology features. Among the new features is a new event invite technology. By clicking on the here, you will be taken directly to the invitation for the Lake Presidential Event. Please register at the bottom of that page as soon as possible.
For those of you whom I do not see next week at Hunt Valley, L’ Shanah Tovah, I wish you and your families very sweet and Happy New year.
Fondly,
Adam
LAKE PRESIDENTIAL GOLF OUTING
The final golf outing of the year is taking place at Lake Presidential Golf Club in Upper Marlboro, MD. Lake Presidential is a beautifully groomed, championship caliber course offering a versatile, balanced test from five sets of tees ranging from 7,230 to 4,960 yards. There’s a spacious all-grass practice facility, a full-service golf shop and a handsome clubhouse with a veranda offering fine cuisine and the best sunset views west of Annapolis.
HEALTH AND WELFARE
Harry Hofberg passed on August 11th after breaking his hip in a fall and undergoing surgery. Harry will be remembered for his many years of service to Amity. Feel free to leave a thought or message on the In Memoriam page we have created for him. Ralph Rothstein is recovering nicely from his surgery and we look forward to seeing his smiling face soon.
Ron Ginsburg placed 11th in the Senior Olympics Nationals 400 yard run. Good job, Ron! Most of us can barely walk that far.
