Sketchy Details of Track Alumni Reunion Get-Togethers

Even those not golfing enjoy our weekend festivities because of the Friday Night Reunion and the awards Dinner following the thrashing of the Elks Club greenery.  In fact, people enjoy it so much, we have outgrown our old location and have moved over to the Damon's Meeting Room this year for both evenings!

In keeping with our goal of giving back to the Track Program and the Scholarships, it is necessary to charge a nominal fee of $10 for the Friday night meeting.  Costs for everything have risen each year and we have tried to make everything as affordable as possible.  Cost for the Saturday Awards dinner at Damon's is $20, but will be only $10 for those not having the ribs/chicken dinner.


We will also have several raffles on both evenings.  A 50/50 raffle will be held each night, so its possible to win all your money back in one fell swoop.  Also, don't forget the raffle for the Nike Driver (valued at $300!) for $10 a chance.  Also, I'll be holding a donation/raffle on Friday night to raise money for the blog/web site and for future enhancements to the Group.  Many prizes have been accumulated including State College Snack Packs, PSU Track and Cross-Country hats, Velveteen Playboys DVD and polos (High-jump record-holder Paul Souza's band), PSU greats posters, Rapid Transit gift certificates, and more!  I also will be giving away The Golden Golf Ball to somebody who sent us a wrist-band photo from around the world or someone who follows the blog loyally.


Special ceremonies for members of the Hall of Honor and others will be made, culminating in the Happy Birthday Celebration for Coach Groves on Saturday night.  Be sure to bring your very own Coach Groves story with you!

We were unable to afford the Velveteen Playboys for entertainment this year but our meager monies can afford an accordionist playing such hits as "Lady of Spain" for our delight!
