THIS JUST IN!!! The 9th
Annual Golf Invitational is now on the calendar! You can pen us in for Friday,
August 20th at the Manor Golf Course! ______________________ The
8th Annual Golf Invitational was a HUGE success!!
A total of 17 teams took to the links at this year's event on August
21st at Manor Golf Course...and -- for the second consecutive year -- ParenteBeard LLC (formerly
Beard Miller Company) served as Title Sponsor. The law firm of Kent & McBride,
Walmart (Wyomissing), and Quadrant Engineering were contributing
Corporate Sponsors as well. In addition, 27 Hole Sponsors helped Big Brothers Big Sisters exceed this year's goal of $13,000!!
Despite a two-hour rain delay shortly after play began, it turned into an exciting event for all. Besides Greg Stuchel and his amazing Hole-In-One win (see home page), a new team to the event took the honors this year. Big Brothers Darrell Kohler and his team from West Side Wood Products finished in 1st place with a score of 57 (13 under par)! Second place went to Team Orr, followed by the Reading Eagle Press team in third. While West Side Wood Products, a team from Feeney Funeral Home, and the team of DJ Starnes & Company were newcomers to the event -- the 8th Annual Golf Invitational featured a number of returning teams besides Team Orr and Reading Eagle. They included: ParenteBeard LLC (formerly Beard Miller Company), Godiva Chocolatiers, Lift Inc. Penn National Gaming, RAM Industrial Services, Giorgio Mushroom, and VIST Financial. Jay Oglesby & Bob Fisher Chevrolet again sponsored the annual Hole-In-One contest. While no one won the 2009 Chevy Cobalt that was up for grabs, we did -- as mentioned -- have our first ever Hole-In-One winner! In addition, golfers had plenty of food and drink through the event...starting with the MarketFresh sandwiches donated by Arby's and ending with a delicious meal from Moyer's Catering. Our deepest appreciation goes out to all of the above companies who helped make this year's event a success...plus to the numerous businesses who provided the agency with door prizes for our golfers. And we -- of course -- can't forget those 27 Hole Sponsors without whom we would not have exceeded our goal. They include:
Burkhart Refractory -- UGI Utilities -- Giorgio Mushroom Company -- IB Dickinson & Sons, Inc. -- National Penn Bank -- Penn National Gaming Foundation -- Reading Eagle Press -- The Smith Family of Pottsville -- (in memory of) Wally's Photos -- Liberty Environmental, Inc. -- Penn Telecommunications -- Comcast -- E.F. Tech Sales -- Anonymous (in honor of all Big Brothers and Big Sisters) -- Anonymous (in support of all Little Brothers and Little Sisters) -- Marylouise & Dave Cox -- the Eck Family -- VIST Financial -- American Crane & Equipment Co. -- Austin's Restaurant & Bar -- Berkshire Agency, Inc. -- Herbein + Co. -- West Side Wood Products -- Yuasa Battery, Inc.
