Industry Professionals TEA-Off
at 2006 Annual Golf Outing!
June 13, 2006 - Another Tea Association annual event went off without a hitch
as local tea professionals gathered at the beautiful Essex Fells Country Club in Essex Fells, New
Jersey on June 13th. It was 80 degrees with clear skies and a touch of wind as our golfers
engaged in some friendly competition while re-connecting with customers, coworkers, and friends.
A special thanks goes to Ken Fischer for once again sponsoring the Outing at Essex Fells Country Club.
Also, thank you to Ahlstrom FiberComposites and RPM Warehouse & Transportation for sponsoring our two
$25,000 Hole-In-One Prize Tournaments.
If you missed this year's event, we strongly urge you to consider attending in 2007. The Annual Outing
provides a unique opportunity to network with other tea industry professionals and to reward your employees,
suppliers, and customers. It is also a way to demonstrate support for the Tea Association and the efforts
extended by the Association on behalf of its member organizations.
