AWS Northwest Section 31st Annual Golf Outing: June 14, 2010

Winter is almost over and most of us golfers are getting anxious to get out and play some rounds of golf. The annual AWS Northwest Section golf outing is right around the corner. It is time to get your foursomes together and get signed up and perhaps sponsor a hole this year.

This year we have moved this event to Sundance Golf Club in Maple Grove. Due to many requests to move this event closer to the Twin Cities, the AWS NW Section Executive Committee decided to make the move to Sundance. We want to thank New Prague Golf Club for the excellent hospitality, support, and services we received the past 14 years.

All the proceeds from this event go into the NW Section Scholarship Fund. Last year this event raised $2800.00, which was part of the $5000.00 we gave out to schools to be used for Welding Education.

Cost:

$95.00 per player includes lunch and dinner
$30.00 Dinner & Lunch
$20.00 Dinner only

Make checks payable to: AWS
