MARATHON CLASSIC INSIDERS July 2014 Thank You from Jim Hoffman, 2014 General Chairman Through my involvement with the Marathon Classic, I ve gotten to know many of the LPGA players and the LPGA Executive Team and the one thing I ve consistently heard is just how special our tournament is to them. When I ask them why, they say it is all about the way they are treated here by our staff and all of the volunteers. What a wonderful compliment to all of you! It is gratifying to all to see your efforts so appreciated and to see the impact you make through your commitment to the Marathon Classic. We couldn t have such a great tournament and make the huge positive impact in the community without you. Thanks for all you will be doing this year to continue this tradition. 2014 Volunteer Uniform Jim Hoffman
