Following the tournament golfers enjoyed a delicious dinner of Ribeye steak, baked potatoes, salads, corn and buns topped off by cheesecake for dessert. Many individuals who were unable to golf purchased dinner tickets in order to enjoy the meal and post tournament festivities! Many were able to take home one of a kind autographed sports items or game tickets from our silent auction.

As we concluded our best tournament to date - over $15,000 was raised to support physician recruitment in our communities!

None of this could be accomplished without the help of our volunteers! The Board of Director's and Dawn Lorenzen would like to acknowledge and thank the following individuals for their time and talents: Larry Hagedorn, Carol Kahl, Alan Lorenzen, Bonnie Lorenzen, Bricy Lorenzen, Shelli Lorenzen, Sandy McDonald, Amy Osborne and Susie Schilling. Also thanks goes out to Brian Lage and staff at the Manning-Manilla Golf Course and to Chris Nelson and staff at Somebody's Bar & Grille in Manilla.

Please join us next year on July 9, 2009 for the 16th annual Charity Golf Classic!!!!
