&lt;p&gt;Join us for a day of fun and golf at the Brandon Municipal Golf Course! This two-person scramble is open to everyone and is a great opportunity to catch up with your friends and colleagues! In addition to being a great day in the sun, the Annual Golf Outing is the major source of funding for the SDES Eastern Chapter Scholarship Program.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Even if you don't golf, you can still support the scholarship fund by sponsoring a hole, joining us for lunch, purchasing a book of raffle tickets, or by making a monetary donation to the scholarship fund.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To speed check in at the golf course,&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;we request that you make all raffle, meal and golf related purchases online.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;Please pay online when you register or complete payment prior to the August 27th.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;font color="#9E0B0F" style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Golf and Lunch Registration closes Thursday, August 20th!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Payment must be made in advance of the event for sponsorship signs to be placed on the course. After purchasing a hole sponsorship, simply return to the registration page to purchase golf, dinner, or raffle tickets.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;

In previous years, golfers have made it through the course faster than expected, please &lt;strong&gt;plan on being at the course by at least 12:30 pm&lt;/strong&gt; to watch the last golfers come in and to be in time for lunch and the raffle drawing. &lt;strong&gt;Lunch registration closes Thursday, August 20th.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
