BOOSTER CLUB GOLF OUTING
The 2007 Alumni & Friends Booster Scramble will be held this year at Ruffled Feathers Golf Club in Lemont. Ruffled Feathers is home to Illinois’ only Pete Dye designed course, and is rated as one of Chicago’s Top 10 public golf courses. Ruffled Feathers boasts sculpted fairways, strategically placed sand and water, beautifully framed and contoured greens, and a Dye-signature island green.
The club offers complete services including a driving range and a chipping green. A barbecue lunch, beverage cart, great prizes and refreshments following the scramble will complete your day. The event provides friendly competition in a pleasant family atmosphere and is a great way to spend a day with friends. Our primary goal for the Booster Scramble is to raise funds for the purchase of an additional mini-bus for athletic and cocurricular activities.
The outing will be held on Friday, October 5, 2007. Registration, Barbecue lunch, and the driving range open at 11:30 a.m. A shotgun start for the scramble begins at 12:45 p.m. Refreshments will be served at the awards presentation at 5:00 p.m.
Registration and sponsorship opportunities are available ranging from an Eagle sponsor at $5,000 to a hole sponsor at $250. All sponsors will be recognized on the course, at the lunch, and will be featured in golf outing publicity. Individual tee time is $150.
Registrations are due by September 15, 2007 and are honored on a first-come, first-served basis. Further information, or to receive a registration brochure, contact Athletic Director Jim Woudstra at (630) 833-7575 x.205.

ON THE LIGHTER SIDE
A rookie pitcher was struggling at the mound, so the catcher walked out to have a talk with him. "I've figured out your problem," he told the young southpaw. "You always seem to lose control at the same point in every game."
"When is that?" asked the kid.
"Right after the National Anthem."
