Ninth Annual Mary Allison Golf Outing set for July 12
In 1901 when Mary Allison developed the Greencastle Orphan's Home on 150 acres of land just west of the city, she most likely didn't realize how great a legacy she was creating.
On Friday, July 12, the ninth annual Mary Allison Golf Outing at Clover Meadows Golf Course, Cloverdale will help raise funds for the Mary Allison Children's Trust that is the legacy of the original orphan's home. The trust was developed when the home was closed in the 1980s.
Every year each Putnam County elementary school is given $1,000 from the fund to be used for medical or health care issues for students when all other resources are exhausted.
At least 10 children from each of the county elementary schools receive financial aid each year from the trust.
Monies are unrestricted, meaning school officials can use them for any purpose as long as it benefits the students
Registration for the golf outing begins at 11:30 a.m., followed by lunch at noon and a shotgun start at 1 p.m. Cost of the golf outing is $200 per team and $50 for hole sponsors.
Prizes to be given: $200 for first place, $100 for second and $50 for third. There will also be door prizes and mulligans are three for $10.
The public is invited to participate in this annual event.
Trust sponsors for the golf outing include: York Automotive, Wal-Mart Distribution, Wal-Mart Store, Duke Energy, Gobin Memorial United Methodist Church, Tri-County Bank & Trust, Connie Lawson and Wabash Capital.
This year anyone who hits a hole in one at the designated hole will win a 2013 GMC Arcadia donated by York Automotive.
Forms and fees are due by Tuesday, July 9 to the Mary Allison Children's Trust, P.O. Box 369, Greencastle, IN, 46135.
