Controlled House Burn 
Thursday, May 5

Grace Episcopal Church has partnered with the Orange Park Fire Department to offer a place for them to train their firefighters via a controlled burn. The burn benefits both the Fire Department and Grace Church. Once the house is gone and the land cleared, the church will redevelop the property.

The burn will start at 9:00 am with training all morning, break for lunch at noon and the final burn down between 1:00 pm and 2:00 pm.
 
There will be a hot zone taped off. Spectators can be outside that line. The property will stay roped off for some weeks after until the clean-up is completed.

Do you love golf?  How about your friends, neighbors and co-workers?  Make plans now to attend THE PLAYERS with  one day grounds tickets.  $25.00 from each ticket sold will be donated back to Grace.  Even if you are not a golfing enthusiast you probably know someone that would enjoy attending.  Help us get the word out and take advantage of this opportunity to support our school. 

Simply visit the  Chip in for Youth ticketmaster page  and enter the code ORANGEPARK to purchase tickets and give credit to Grace.

Military Policy -  THE PLAYERS provides all career military (active duty, Reserve, military retirees and dependents) with complimentary admission to the tournament all week. To obtain vouchers for complimentary admission, go to  pgatour.com/theplayers  and click on the Tickets & Parking link.
