Greetings,
As a Group and Association we are very happy to have finally completed our move here to Eglin Air Force Base and this beautiful Emerald Coast. This is, without reservation, an awesome community with awesome neighbors. We are so very grateful for all the support you and the local communities have shown us thus far.
On Friday May 18th, 2012 the Family Business or FAMBUS invitational Golf Tournament tees off at Regatta Bay Golf and Country Club in a Four Man Best Ball format. To make this tournament even more special, you and two other invitees will be paired with one of our volunteer Warriors.
This year I am proud to announce that Quality Imports has taken the meaning of “Family Business” to the next level and agreed to be our Flagship Sponsor! Our hats really go off to Dr. Hollingsworth, Matt Marsteller and their team of professionals there at Quality Imports; Thanks Doc and Matt! 
Starting at 6pm on Thursday May 17th, 2012 at Harborwalk Village, Quality Imports in conjunction with the Emerald Grande will hold host a Red, White and Blue Hero Celebration where we will honor the 7th Special Forces Group NCO and Solider of the year! Following the presentation you and your guest are invited to our VIP invitation only private event at the All- New Pepitos Crab Island Cantina located in the Harborwalk Village. Crab Island Cantina offers a premier viewing spot for the firework show while you enjoy a complimentary buffet with a cash bar available. Your invitation entitles you to two tickets for this kick-off event where you will have a chance to meet other invitees, the 7th Special Forces Command and Soldiers, as well as the other tournament participants prior to Friday’s tournament.
These are invitation only events. Confirmed space for both the Golf Tournament and the VIP party is limited and you must RSVP – for both or either – no later than 8 May. All recipients of this invitation are invited to the May 17th VIP Party at Harborwalk Village regardless of entry into the Golf Tournament as long as you RSVP within the allotted time.
Should you decide to participate, contribute, become a Sponsor, or even a VIP Sponsor please let me know how you would like to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to have fun, meet new people and golf with some truly “Elite Soldiers”. Please contact me at 850-885-7275.
Our Special Forces Soldiers are continuously deployed in defense of our freedom and security. The sacrifices our Soldiers and their Families endure are often unseen and unheard, but are critical in the defense of our nation. The Special Forces Association Chapter VII was established to support the Soldiers and Families of the 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne) and the Special Forces Community. For tax deductible contributions please make checks payable to: Special Forces Association Chapter VII
