sponsors for that tournament. Each sponsor will be allowed to put up
promotional info about their business, and sponsors of $150 or more will have a

them,. and that is used as the final table.

they contribute to children who are deaf. Our Sertoma chooses to help local
people who find themselves in serious need, but can't get assistance anywhere
else because they don't fit the criteria. NO ADMINISTRATION FEES ARE EVER
DEDUCTED FROM DONATIONS. Every peeny that we earn is given out immediate to a
