Tee Time<\/p><\/div>\n

On Monday, April 18, some 250 golfers gathered at The Courses at Andrews Air Force Base to support the United Service Organizations, known to millions of service personnel and citizens alike as the USO.\u00a0 Over $35,000 was raised for the Metro chapter of the legendary organization.<\/p>\n

The <\/a>USO<\/span><\/a> was established in 1941 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt.\u00a0 Its objective was to gather together a diverse group of charitable organizations and provide emotional support for the growing U.S. military.\u00a0 The USO of Metropolitan Washington operates centers on local military installations and lounges at all the area airports.\u00a0 It also provides services to recovering service members and their families at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and Bethesda Naval Medical Center.<\/p>\n

The tournament was sponsored by the Washington DC Chapter of the National Defense Industrial Association.\u00a0 NDIA<\/span><\/a> is America\u2019s leading defense industry association promoting national security. Its members foster the development of innovative and superior equipment for our warfighters and first responders.<\/p>\n

Rappahannock Cellars was honored to provide each player a bottle of our 2009 Noblesse Rouge.\u00a0 The wine was sold to NDIA at below wholesale and payment covered by one of the sponsors, Pratt & Whitney.\u00a0 I was pleased to assist at the registration table where the wine was presented to the golfers.<\/p>\n

Dave Longley, chairman of the event, and Cheryl Luczko, Management Consultant with NDIA, organized the successful affair and were everywhere present throughout the daylong tournament.<\/p>\n
