The site features information about the Revenue Authority's structure and projects, provides a Board member and staff listing, as well as links to the Montgomery County Golf and the Montgomery County Airpark sites. Miller adds, "I think the site will help answer questions about what the Revenue Authority is, some of our contributions to the community, and give members of the community another venue in which to learn about us. I'm pleased to be able to provide information about the Revenue Authority to the public in this format." 9.01.2007 Montgomery County Golf's Support of the Community Montgomery County Golf, a division of the Montgomery County Revenue Authority, has supported the fundraising efforts of many community-based organizations including public and private schools, churches, law enforcement support organizations, and other non-profit organizations by donating rounds of golf to be used at benefit auctions. Executive Director Keith Miller says, "Over the past year, we estimate that over $15,000 worth of rounds certificates were provided to our local organizations. The funds raised go to directly support our youngest to our eldest community members. It is gratifying to know that we are able to have such an impact." In addition to donated rounds, Miller states, "Montgomery County Golf has been a key sponsor and supporter of The First Tee of Montgomery County by providing its facilities and over 250 structured lessons to youth each week." Montgomery County's High School programs use the facilities for free to conduct there golf practices and matches. In 2006 there were over 3,000 rounds of golf used by the 29 schools. In July 2007, Montgomery County Golf sponsored "Take Your Daughters to the Course Week" by providing a free round of golf, various clinics, and beginner lessons to junior girls participating in the event with a parent or other responsible adult. Montgomery County Golf has sponsored an American Red Cross blood drive, "Bleed Fore Golf," for two years. Blood drive participants are rewarded with a certificate to come back and play golf at one of its facilities for donating blood. This year's event was held on Sunday, August 19 in a Bloodmobile at Poolesville Golf Course. Montgomery County Golf remains committed to growing the game by offering a series of free new golfer clinics at several courses to kick off the golf season and to encourage people to try the sport. Clinics on etiquette, basic instruction, and introduction to golf sessions were attended by hundreds of potential new golfers.
