They toured homes and gardens and had a wonderful, low country lunch at the renowned High Cotton Restaurant, followed by shopping on nearby Market Street. A reception and dinner capped off the day with Foun- dation for Packaging Education Chairman Jay Carman making remarks. He reminded everyone of the mission of the Foundation, to ensure the longevity and ongoing de- velopment of education and training programs for those already working in the industry. Education and training are vital to employee retention and employee satisfaction. Thursday dawned windy and rainy. The day’s plan was for golfers to play the Ocean Course at Kiawah, site of the 2021 PGA Championship. Twelve hearty golfers (about one-third of the planned group) braved Tropical Storm Ni- cole’s outer bands and took to the golf course. The non-golfing crowd enjoyed brunch within The Sanctuary, one of the most luxurious resort properties on the East Coast. The funds raised brought the raised and pledged amount of the Foundation to nearly $3 million. The Foun- dation thanks everyone who attended the event, and most importantly the event sponsors, Domtar Packaging, Equip- ment Finance Corporation, and Fosber America. CONTINUED ON PAGE 48
