For several years, the Council has held a spring
Golf Tournament
on the Normandie Golf Club course. A full day event beginning with a four man scramble and ending with a BBQ pork steak dinner, a portion of the funds raised support four $200
Robert Heidenfelder

George Jacobs Scholarships

Again this year, the Council sold $20 Baseball Mania tickets. The Council sold enough chances to have a winner every week during the contest. Similar to the Football Mania tickets we sold last fall, there is a web site which tracks the results. The fun lasts all season long. Contact the chairman if you are interested in buying or selling tickets on our behalf.
