Mary Allison Golf Outing set for July 11
In 1901 when Mary Allison developed the Greencastle Orphans 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 July 11, the 10th 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 orphans' home.
The trust was developed when the home was closed in the 1960s.
Every year each Putnam County elementary school is given $1,000 from the fund to be used for medical or healthcare 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. Lunch only is $10.
Prizes will be given: $200 for first place, $100 for second and $50 for third. There will also be door prizes. Mulligans are three for $10.
The public is invited to participate in the golf outing.
Trust sponsors for the golf outing include Wal-Mart Distribution, Duke Energy, Gobin Memorial United Methodist Church, Tri-County Bank, Heritage Environment, Pearl's Landscaping Construction and Wabash Capital.
Forms and fees are due by July 7 to the Mary Allison Children's Trust, P.O. Box 369, Greencastle, IN 46135.
