Dear Friends,

On behalf of the Board, faculty and students of The ELIJA School, we invite you to join us at our annual Golf & Tennis Outing; this year to be held in memory of Mr. George D'Amato. Last year's outing was a great success, raising approximately $175,000 dollars toward the enrichment of our full day program for school aged children with Autism. This fundraising success allowed The ELIJA School to continue with their commitment in ensuring a quality education and treatment program for school aged children who have experienced failure in their available public school placements. Our 12 month, researched based program solely relies on the continued support of our contributors. We thank all who participated in last years efforts.

Our Golf & Tennis outing is the cornerstone of The ELIJA School's fundraising efforts and this year's event promises to be one of excitement and proud achievement. The George D'Amato Golf & Tennis Outing will be held Monday, May 5th 2008 at The Fresh Meadow Country Club, located in Lake Success, New York.

We hope you will be inspired by our vision of improving the quality of life for those affected by Autism. Please consider supporting us as a corporate sponsor, a golf or tennis participant, or join us for lunch or dinner.

Warm Regards,

Debora & Nicole

We invite you partake in any of the exciting activities we have planned for this day.

Thirty-two foursomes will enjoy 18 holes of Golf on one of Long Island's finest golf courses while tennis buffs participate in a professional clinic and enjoy a day on the courts. A full day of feasting on the finest foods will be offered through the day and well into the evening. Wonderful raffles and prizes will be available for those who wish to participate in our auctions. We hope you will be inspired by our efforts and will join us in providing children with autism a quality education and treatment program. We look forward to hosting you and your guests at this remarkable venue.

In Memory of George G. D'Amato

George D'Amato (1925-2007) founded D'Amato & Lynch in 1969, a firm which has become a leader in the practice of insurance law. Mr. D'Amato was an acclaimed practitioner of corporate and professional liability insurance law. Mr. D'Amato's accomplishments extended outside the law profession. He was an avid and accomplished tennis player and philanthropist whose generosity touched many charitable organizations and people in his life. George and Dorothy D'Amato have been instrumental in the establishment of the ELIJA School. Their concerns for friends who have children with autism have enabled the ELIJA School to continue to grow and create new classes. It is an honor and privilege to host our benefit golf & tennis outing in his memory.

Fresh Meadow Country Club

Located in Lake Success, New York, the Fresh Meadow Country Club is renowned as being one of the finest clubs where one could spend their time. This venue is particularly appropriate and held a special place in Mr. D'Amato's heart, as he had spent many years creating fond memories with his wife, friends and colleagues. The Fresh Meadow Country Club is an exceptional private facility with a long standing history of providing the finest facilities for the most distinguished individuals. It offers the perfect setting for our Benefit Tennis and Golf Outing. We look forward to serving you and your guests in this fine establishment while we support the vision of our school, to improve the quality of life for children with Autism.
