"Lets plan a fun golf tournament to promote my new business and donate the moneyto those who need it..."

"Okay, what should we call it?"

PERFECT!! The Golf Junket

Thats how it all started one evening at our regular Sunday Funday dinner table.

We pulled ideas together and came up with The 1st Annual Tailwind Aviation Golf Junket! Splitting proceeds with Kristen's Seva Challenge Haiti Fundraiser, building sustainable communities in Haiti, and with SUDS (Soldiers Undertaking Disabled Scuba).

Kevin, my co-collaborator and owner of Tailwind Aviation and funder of the Golf Junket is also a diver and has a heart filled with gold. I've taught hot yoga classes in his livingroom in the middle of the winter to him and the dive boys, and then they would make dinner. Not a bad trade!

So this Golf Junket, was just that a Junket. A way to get friends and family together for a good cause. After all was said and done we were able to split about $1000 between Seva Challenge and SUDS.

We really wanted to make this a fun tournament, so for prizes we had a variety of "junk"et things! For instance the 1st place trophies were actually plungers that we painted pretty colors and fun designs on! (They also came with a $25 gift certificate to Floyds 1921 Restaurant)

For those who came in last place, no worries you get a prize too... A bag of army men (and a $25 gift certificate to Island Grill)

Bottomline, we had a great tournament, raised fantastic funds for two great organizations and we had fun along the way! Look for the 2nd Annual Tailwind Aviation Golf Junket coming in 2012!!

Sincerely,

The Junket Heads- Kristen and Kevin
