Dear Friends,
Your support of Avenues through our annual golf and tennis classic helps to provide significant benefits to the more than 250 people with autism, cerebral palsy, Down's Syndrome and other developmental disabilities in their programs.   I am grateful for your interest is this worthy cause and hope that you can be generous with your participation in 2008. 

I know that you are looking forward to our 19th Annual Avenues/Gorman Classic, set for Monday, July 21st, at the Park Ridge Country Club.  This letter is an invitation for you to save-the-date and inform your associates that the full day of golf and tennis ultimately benefits an organization that is celebrating its 53rd year of providing much needed day training, vocational and residential services for people with disabilities.

Enclosed, you will find information on the day's activities, as well as other ways to help support Avenues through the Classic.  Please return the attached response sheet for an early reservation.  You will be receiving additional information in the next few weeks and will be asked to formally confirm your reservation by July 12th.

Thank you for your time and consideration of Avenues.  Please feel free to call should you have any questions.  See you on July 21st!

Sincerely,
