Volunteers Needed

Here at Greenhouse Ministries, we are blessed with so many wonderful volunteers. Smiling and cheerful, they brighten the atmosphere around them, and just help out so much.

We need volunteers to help us with our "Day of Hope" in order to make it a success. If you'd like to volunteer to man a water station, be a mile timer, a photographer or just help with the run, please contact Leslie Mertz, Volunteer Coordinator, at leslie.mertz@greenhousemin.org. It's guaranteed to be a fun day with fun people, and you'll be helping your community as well.

Visit us at www.greenhousemin.org for more information, or call us at 615-494-0499 for more information on volunteering to help with the 5K Run. Help us to "Plant HOPE in the 'Boro!"

Golf Tournament Details

Greenhouse Ministries' and HobNob Murfreesboro's Golf Tournament/4-person scramble offers so many opportunites for Rutherford County residents (and others!) to help their community. You can play the tournament and purchase mulligans for use in the tournament, or sponsor a hole on the course.

The tournament, held at Champions Run Golf Course in Rockvale, 14262 Mt. Pleasant Rd, features an 18-hole course on Bermuda grass, with a slope rating of 123. Teams can register for $80 per player, and the deadline for registration is June 6. Registration is available online at HobNob Murfreesboro's Web site.

Those competing in the tournament can purchase mulligans for use in the tournament. One mulligan is $5, while three mulligans are $10.

Teams in first, second and third places will receive team prizes. There will also be door prizes for things like longest drive, and a putting contest. Winnings from the putting contest will be divided 50/50 between the winner and Greenhouse Ministries.

Things are gearing up for the 2nd annual "Day of Hope"! June 27 is rapidly approaching and we're all very excited about this year's new Golf Tournament/Four-person scramble!

Last year's introduction of the 5K run and Family Fun walk was a success. We had so many wonderful people sign up, and we hope to have so many more this year! The 5K run begins at the Oaklands Pavilion in Murfreesboro (900 Maney Ave.). Kids who haven't quite reached the 5K mark yet can participate in the 1-mile Family Fun Walk, guaranteeing fun for the whole family. To pre-register for the run, you can visit Active.com. You can also register at the actual event itself, so no matter what, you can begin "Planting HOPE in the 'Boro" with us.

This year introduces the Golf Tournament/Four-Person Scramble. Not sure what a scramble is? Here's a short definition from About.com: The Scramble is one of the primary forms of tournament play for golf associations, charity events and the like. A scramble is usually played with 4-person teams, but 2-person scrambles are popular, too. At a 2-person scramble, handicaps are usually applied; at a 4-person scramble, handicaps are usually not applied. You can visit the above Web site for a full definition and explanation. The tournament will be held at Champion's Run Golf Course (14262 Mt. Pleasant Rd, Rockvale, TN 37153). Lunch is served at 12:30 with tee time at 1:30 p.m. Cost of registration is $80 per person. You can pick up a registration form at Greenhouse Ministries, Champion's Run Golf Course, Gateway Tire, or online at HobNob Murfreesboro's Web site. There will be a competition for prizes, so bring your best game-face!

So whether you love golfing, running, walking, or just fun in general, our "Day of Hope" is a fantastic way to do what you love, and help your community. Register for the 5K run or the tournament, and you help us keep "Planting HOPE in the 'Boro!!"
