THANK
YOU - Sponsors of our Golf Tournament

We want to thank our tournament sponsor, Windsor Electric
and specifically owner Donald Kirk and his wife Patricia. They are wonderful people who do amazing
things. The Kirk’s are very
interested in helping youth through education. They not only contribute financially
through their company and family foundation but their philanthropic efforts
extend to service on various committees and Boards, such as the Maryland
Governor’s Office on Service and Volunteerism and the Commission on Service
and Volunteerism. The Windsor Electric Company has been serving
Baltimore and surrounding counties since 1955 by offering award winning,
quality electrical construction to general contractors, private
institutions and industry. Their
services include electrical contracts for office buildings, warehouse
facilities, factories, shopping centers, nursing homes, hospitals, schools,
hotels, and municipal office buildings.
Their well-trained personnel specialize in all types of commercial,
institutional, and industrial wiring and lighting maintenance as well as
rental of augering, backhoe, bucket truck, crane, and trenching equipment
with a trained operator. Several of
their employees live in PA.
