Dear Friend,
I am honored to be heading up The 10th Annual Mike Bartram Memorial Scholarship Golf Outing this year. This is an endeavor that is of special significance to us as Mike Bartram was a close personal friend. Mike Bartram was a very special guy, not only a wonderful friend, but also a loving husband and father, and a civic-minded community person. He epitomized the qualities of generosity and kindness that are the cornerstone of this event and of The Exchange Club of Norwalk, Inc. of which Mike was an active member. Mike served as a past President Of the Exchange Club of Norwalk, Inc. and helped the club achieve their national goal of The Prevention of Child Abuse through many community service projects.
Mike Bartram died in December of 1998 after a longstanding battle with cancer leaving a young widow and three young children. At that time, The Exchange Club of Norwalk, Inc. began The Mike Bartram Memorial Scholarship Fund as a way of preserving his legacy. The money raised by this event is used to grant high school scholarships to worthy students pursuing higher education.
I ask you this year to help us by your sponsorship of this event in keeping the spirit of Mike Bartram alive. Those of us who knew him will never forget Mike Bartram, but by forging ahead in pursuit of his ideals and goals, we will forever pay tribute to his memory.
I thank you in advance for your support, whether it may be moneys or gifts.
Warmest personal regards,
