It's time to get serious about our biggest fundraiser the Annual Chicago O'Hare Rotary Golf Outing on Thursday, June 1st at the the Makray Memorial Golf Course in Barrington IL. We require every member to participate in some way – gathering items for our raffle and silent auction (give any items to Pat and email Mike Plitcha for his summaries), encourage others to donate to the scholarship fund, volunteer the day of the outing in raffle ticket sales and set-up, or have your company sponsor hole signage. Larry Fritz will process Manna gift cards for the raffle if you would like to purchase them for your donation. Mike Plitcha, Golf Outing Chair, is encouraging us to work on the Raffle and Silent Auction to make this our best outing yet!!
Two important functions coming up this week (East – Monday, West – Tuesday) are the Senior Awards Nights for East and West Leyden High Schools. Chuck Henschel, Scholarship Chair, will speak on our behalf and hand out our eight scholarships to the chosen students. There will be seats in the audience designated for our Club members, but you need to tell Chuck that you are planning to attend. Chenschel@landrum-brown.com
