>>>>>>> Dear friends,
>>>>>>> We have been reading the emails about lowering some of the fees for the Beau Biden Golf Tournament and providing reduced fees for some foursomes and lowering the costs for some folks to attend the cocktail party. The $200 golf fee and $50 reception fee proposed would actually require the Beau Biden Foundation to underwrite these guests because this price will not cover the the fees WCC is charging. It is difficult to comprehend why we would have a fundraiser and invite people to participate for a fee that would end up costing us money ??
>>>>>>> As members of this event committee, we have been working very hard across the community to garner financial support for the event and for the Foundation. Folks have stretched to make their gifts and some folks have understood that they may not be able to pay these fees. Certainly there are many people who have worked with and supported Beau over these many long years who would not be very happy if exceptions were made for anyone.
>>>>>>> The brochure with the established fees has been widely distributed and it would not be appropriate or fair or honest to change that for anyone. How would we look if other groups learned that we made exceptions for some and not for others?
>>>>>>> We appreciate your concerns but hope you understand that the fee structure cannot be changed. And we hope that everyone will participate in the event to the best of his or her ability.
>>>>>>> There will other opportunities to attend fund raising events to support the work of Beau's Foundation in the future at a lower cost if this one does not work for you and others.
>>>>>>> Thank you for your interest and concern. 

>>>>>>> Best regards,
>>>>>>> Sonny Sloan and Fred Sears
>>>>>>> Event Committee Members
