Pittsburgh Chapter Golf Outing - Last Call!!!

The Pittsburgh Chapter has been helping aspiring Information Technology Professionals in Western Pennsylvania for the past several years by providing scholarships to local college students with money raised during their annual golf outing. Stan Hoffman, Chapter President, said that $15,000 has been raised over the past 5 years.

The event is a scramble format with 4-person teams. The cost of $89 per person includes 18 holes of golf, cart, refreshment, buffet and prizes.   Again, the event is being held at the Butlers Golf Course in Elizabeth, Pa. on Saturday, August 7, 2010 at 8:00AM. http://www.butlersgolf.com.

If you would like to participate in this event, by yourself or with a friend (we will match you with a foursome), or if you want to get together a foursome, we would be pleased to have you at the outing.
