***Please note: In case of inclement weather, we will still attempt to delay the start of the tournament for up to one hour. Sponsorship of the event is a tax-deductible donation to the museum and just like a golf outing, no refund will be issued if weather causes the match to be canceled. The Garden Party will still occur indoors in cases of inclement weather starting at 3:30 pm.
