All proceeds will go to the Greater Black Hawk Habitat for Humanity--Women Build. The early bird registration fee for this event is $25.00 for NRC members/non-members.

GOLF TOURNAMENT

The 2004 NRC Golf Tournament will take place at Disney's Osprey Ridge Golf Course. This is a Tom Fazio design and features dramatic fairways cloistered by magnificent stands of pine and majestic oaks. Seventy bunkers guard the course, while large, elevated greens stand serenely above the quiet beauty. Disney's Osprey Ridge Golf Course is recognized as one of the best courses in Florida by Golf Digest. Golf play will begin at 8:00 a.m., Tuesday, January 6, with a shotgun start. Golf Tournament sponsorships are still available. Please contact Giovanna Bauguess at 202-638-7790 or email to info@nrcma.org for more information on sponsorship opportunities.

Two breakfasts and two evening receptions will be held within the Exhibit Hall. For information on exhibiting, please call 202-638-7790.
