TEE OFF! NETWORK! ENGAGE!

You are cordially invited to join Central Florida’s top architectural design professionals in the 20th annual AIA Orlando Golf Tournament benefiting Valencia Community College Foundation scholarship fund and the AIA Orlando Chapter. The goal for this tournament is to raise scholarship funds for students in financial need. Over the past 7 years this tournament has raised over $115,000 in scholarships!

This year the event will be held at the The Reunion Resort (www.reunionresort.com)! The Independence Course- Highlighted by fast, firm and wide rolling fairways, a variety of strategically placed bunkers and large greens, the 7,257 yard, par 72 Independence Course™ is as much about strategy as it is about length. Demanding a well thought out approach from every player regardless of skill level, The Independence puts a premium on a solid short game with spacious green complexes where club selection can vary from putter to lob wedge to three-wood.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Insulating Concrete Forms-ICFs-the hottest engineered wall system in the construction market. While ICFs have been around for over 40 years, only recently has the public placed a value on the benefits offered by ICFs: energy efficiency, durability, resistance to natural disasters, noise pollution and mold-just to name a few. The result is a booming market demand. Join us to learn about the remarkable growth of ICF markets- residential and commercial. We'll cover the basics of ICF systems and construction, review the benefits and contributions to LEED, and look at some case studies of ICF construction.
