13th Annual Harry Groves
Golf Outing and Gathering – ONE MONTH AWAY!!
Greetings All,
In case you have not heard, the
outing takes place this year the weekend of May 16, starting with our meet and
greet Friday, May 16th at Damons from 8-12pm
(we have the upstairs reserved with access to the outdoor patio) – Cash
Bar.
The heart attack run Alumni "Run"will start at the track at 9:oo
am on Saturday, May 17th for anyone interested in a short jog or a
loop around campus (please leave the egos behind and try not to run this if you
haven’t run a step in ten years…)!
The Golf outing will be held at the Elks
Club Mountain View Country Club (former Elks Club!)
again this year with a start time of noon ( think the putting contest will take
place at that time with the outing actually beginning at 1pm – if I’m wrong
with that, I will send a follow up email).
There will be a group gathering to hike Mt
Nittany (or a campus tour) at the hotel between noon and 1pm as well
(for those not interested in golf). The
reception Awards Dinner after golf will take
place at Damon’s – in the basement – beginning at 7pm – Cash Bar.
We have a block of rooms reserved
(under Penn State Track and Field alumni) at the Hampton Inn with a reduced
rate of $94 / night (1101 East College Avenue (814) 231-1590). Since we are running this solo again this
year, all entries will need to be sent to Harry
Smith at 7793 Hudson Park Drive – Hudson, Ohio 44236 (we’re not sophisticated enough to run this through any kind of a credit
card! – though we may explore Pay Pal in the future)…
The fees this year are reverting back
to what they were - $150 for those attending the
outing and the receptions – we have however, decided to cut the newbie’s a
break this year with a reduced rate of $100 for
anyone graduating in the past 5 years. $125 for anyone flying in… If you choose to attend the Friday night
function alone, the fee will be $25 – Saturday
alone, $50.
This year, we have also cut the costs for those with children under 18
attending the receptions in that they are free on
Friday night and $10 on Saturday.
Again, this is a Co-Ed event, so the
more the merrier! Do not feel as if you would embarrass
yourself if you have no golf game (we’ve been embarrassing ourselves for 12
years now and enjoy laughing about it…)
If you should have any questions or
comments, please let me know – Hope to see you there in a month!
P.S. – Anyone attending Penn this
year should contact Ryan Foster if you plan to attend the Friday Night (April
25th) function at the Sheraton, University City (8-10pm)…
