A heartfelt
THANK YOU
from Maggie's Family
to the
SPONSORS, DONORS
AND GOLFERS
at the First Annual
Maggie's Golf Outing,
held Saturday, July 15, 2000
at Lake Doster Gulf Club
in Plainwell, Michigan.

A total of $5,000 will go to:
Plainwell High School Women's Golf Team;
Kalamazoo College Women's Golf Team, and, the Pipp Foundation of Kalamazoo
for a scholarship in Maggie's name

In all, 82 golfers played "four-person scramble" on the 18-hole course and a number of Maggie's family and friends joined them at the dinner that followed.  Door prizes donated by the MGO sponsors listed below were raffled off and diners feasted on a summertime barbeque buffet of brats, burgers and grilled chicken.

Maggie's family sincerely appreciates the generosity of so many people who made this event possible.

Special thanks to
Elaine Sowa, Maggie's Aunt,
for conceiving the idea of a golf outing, organizing it and working so hard to make it a big success!

See you next year!!!
