2ND ANNUAL KARLH MCCALLISTER MEMORIAL GOLF OUTING SET FOR JUNE 25

Plans are underway for the Second Annual Karlh McCallister Memorial Golf Outing. This year’s outing is planned for Saturday, June 25, at Greenville Golf Course. Proceeds will benefit Bridges to College, formerly known as the Darke County College Access Program.

The golf outing is sponsored in memory of Greenville resident and businessman Karlh McCallister who helped form the Darke County College Access Program, now Bridges to College, in 2006. Bridges to College helps local high school students go to college through one-on-one mentoring, educational programs, and needs-based scholarships. Last year’s tournament raised more than $11,000 for Bridges to College, a non-profit organization that helps Greenville and Ansonia High School students.

“The turnout last year and response to the outing was bigger and better than we expected,” Barker said. “And most of this was due to Karlh, his friends, family, and acquaintances and those he worked with throughout the community.”

“We’ve moved this year’s outing date to June because so many golfers indicated that an earlier date would work better for them. There will be no increase in entry or sponsor fees, and we will use the same four-person scramble format,” Barker said. “We are working hard to keep the costs down and hope that more golfers will come out, have an enjoyable afternoon and support a worthy cause.”

An optional dinner is planned immediately after the outing and it will be $11 per person. Those wishing to register for the golf outing or to sponsor a hole can access the entry form online at the Bridges to College website, www.bridges2college.org, or by contacting Mike Barker at 423-1924.
