There will be a group gathering to hike Mt.

The fees this year will be - $175 for those attending the outing and the receptions – the “loan strapped graduate rate” (anyone graduating from 2010-15) will be $125. If you choose to attend the Friday night function alone, the fee will be $35 – Saturday alone, $55. Costs for those with children (under 18) attending the reception(s) - $10 on Friday night and $20 on Saturday. Family members / Significant others / Friends with benefits (!), joining you on the course will be charged $100 (includes golf and receptions). If you’re planning only to golf, the fee will be $100. If you’re planning to golf and only attend Saturday’s function, your fee will be $150. Any scenario I’ve missed, pay whatever (as I’m sure I’ve probably missed 13 other scenarios)…
This event is open to men, women, and friends of PSU alumni - the more the merrier! This is all about the laughs, not the scores, and you have three other hackers to laugh at so don’t worry about how bad your game may be!
Dave Baskwill, Harry Smith, Brian Fuller, Artie Gilkes and Ken Brinker have all graciously agreed to accept your ideas / complaints for the upcoming event – so feel free to yell at them for whatever reason you’d like! Contributions for the Harry Groves Endowment fund, the track and cross country program, and golf outing (any type of gift – obviously not monetary for this one) are gladly accepted! You can still help even if you can't attend!
If you should have any other questions or comments, please let me know – Hope to see you this year!
