2013 NAMIC Annual Convention Golf Outing benefiting The Griffith Insurance Education Foundation

Join us for a golf scramble at Harbour Pointe Golf Club, one of Seattle’s finest courses. Harbour Pointe features two distinct nines. The front nine is relatively flat with water on almost every hole for true target golf while the back nine is set in rolling hills lined with Evergreen trees. Beautiful views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains abound. The golf outing is always a great way to kick off the Convention week as you reconnect with NAMIC friends on the golf course.

Registration is $225 per golfer and can be found on the Convention registration form. If you've already registered, you can add the golf outing to your registration on the registration additions form. For questions or foursome requests please contact Amanda Byrd.

Every 3 minutes a child is diagnosed with cancer – one in five does not survive.
