What is the 9th Annual Hamlin Golf Classic & Fall Fiesta?
Come join fellow Hamlin parents at the first adult social event of the year. This day to evening event offers something for everyone. Play or volunteer at parent-sponsored and themed holes at the Golf Classic, or dine and dance at the Fall Fiesta. Attend both or just one. Each event promises ample time to reconnect with friends, meet new Hamlin families, and indulge in delicious food and libations – culminating in a fantastic dance fiesta!
Is this a fundraiser?
Yes. This fun Golf Classic and fabulous Fiesta are events not to be missed! Combined, they are one of only two fundraising events the Hamlin Parents Association puts on each year. Your participation in the event contributes much needed financial support to the Parents Association's annual gift to Hamlin. Last year, the Parents Association raised $650,000 thanks to the generosity of our families. Our fundraising dollars support the excellent education our daughters receive at Hamlin.
Sounds fun! When is it?
This year, the 9th Annual Hamlin Golf Classic & Fall Fiesta will take place on Friday, September 23, 2016. Tee off at the Golf Classic starts at 12:30 p.m. and lunch and registration open at 11:30 a.m. at the Presidio Golf Course and Clubhouse. Afterward, continue the fun and head to the Hamlin Fiesta Pavilion (at the Clubhouse) starting at 6:30 p.m.
What if I’m not a golfer?
Don’t let that stop you! This event is all about supporting Hamlin and having fun. Even if you are a first timer, this is the perfect opportunity to gather some friends and give it a try.
Even so, if you are not interested in playing golf, there are plenty of opportunities to attend and participate.
- Join other parents from your class on the golf course at a themed hole, and have fun while you treat golfers to special snacks and sips on the course.
- Join fellow Hamlin parents in the evening for dinner and drinks.
- Make a gift to the underwriting effort to support our girls and Hamlin!
What happens at the Fiesta?
When you first arrive to the Fiesta Pavilion, grab a margarita, and enjoy passed hors d'oeuvres during the cocktail hour. Later on, treat yourself to Fiesta-themed food stations and find a seat with friends to listen to a short program, where we will announce the winning foursome, draw raffle winners, and have a Raise the Paddle effort in support of Physical Education and Athletics. After that, prepare to dance the night away with DJ Circle!
What do I wear to the Fiesta?
The Fiesta is a fun and relaxed night to celebrate with other Hamlin parents. There is no specific dress code and we encourage everyone to come as you are (i.e. casual). Golfers can even stay in their golf clothes. We want everyone to be comfortable!
