For Immediate Release --- KILLINGTON, Vt.
Members of the Killington Economic Growth Initiative are hosting a community benefit golf tournament at the Killington Golf Course on Sunday, October 14, 2007.

The Killington Economic Growth Initiative tournament is the perfect way to close out the golf season at the Killington Golf Course and raise money to create new energy in the town of Killington. Funds from the event will be used as "seed money" to get the community growth initiative off the ground. The Killington Economic Growth Initiative is a group of Killington townspeople and business owners who are exploring ways to create sustainable year-round economic development in the town of Killington.

The first goals of the organization are to be able to fund an events coordinator for the upcoming 50th Anniversary Celebration of Killington Resort, and to hire a business plan consultant to research long term goals for the town and the methods to reach them.

The golf tournament will begin at 11 a.m. with a shotgun start. The fee is $50 per person which includes greens fees, cart and a reception and awards celebration following the event. The format will be "Captain and Crew" with four person teams. Registration forms are available at www.growkillington.com.

Businesses and individuals are encouraged to play in the event and also to offer donations to the tournament and the general cause. Hole sponsorships are offered at $150. Local businesses are asked to donate food, gift certificates, prizes, etc. For donation and hole sponsorship information, contact Call Bill Bauer at Summit Lodge at (802) 422-3535 or Casey Crompton (802) 236-2179.

Special thanks are offered to Killington Resort for the donation of the golf facility for this event. Please join with them, and with the event organizers to kick off the beginning of new vitality in Killington.
