Sheaffer Golf donor reception Friday

FORT MADISON – The Sheaffer Memorial Golf Course will be the site Friday for an unofficial kickoff for a public fundraising campaign and a donor reception sponsored by Friends of the Sheaffer Golf Course.
The event will feature Sheaffer family members in attendance and there will be several large check presentations.
Lunch will be served and those who are interested in playing golf will be invited to play a free round following the presentations.
A new digital board will be showing recognitions to those entities who have donated to the golf course or made commitments.

The event will take place this Friday, June 19 from noon to 1 p.m.
Proceeds from the capital campaign will go toward golf course improvements. The public is invited to the luncheon.
The golf course was founded in 1962 and designed by W.D Wagstaff. Funding originally came from a Sheaffer Pen Inc., trust.
The original clubhouse, a two-story brick building was torn down in 1998-99 and was replaced with the current structure. The 18-hole course is 6,300 yards. The original mission of the trust was to provide recreational facilities and funding for the general public purposes.
