Industry Professionals TEA-Off at
Annual Golf Outing
| June 24, 2008 - Local tea professionals gathered at a
new venue for the Tea Association's Annual Tea
Outing: the beautiful Siwanoy Country Club in
Bronxville, NY. Site of the first PGA Championship
held in 1916, the course provided a challenge to the
golfers, as well a beautiful locale to re-connect with
customers, coworkers and friends.
A special thank you to the Siwanoy Country Club and the Tea Association Events Committee for hosting the event and Ahlstrom FiberComposites for sponsoring our $25,000 Hole-In-One Prize Tournament. If you missed this year’s event, we strongly urge you to consider attending in 2009. The Annual Outing provides a unique opportunity to network with other tea industry professionals and to reward your employees, suppliers, and customers. It is also a way to show your support for the Tea Association and its member organizations. |
