PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Dear Members of the Cardinal Newman High School Community,

A

s we anticipate the excitement for a beautiful summer in our County of Sonoma, we celebrate the many successes of our school year. This Trinity edition provides the opportunity for us to celebrate the extraordinary accomplishments of 148 Seniors who graduate as members of the Class of 2019.

The Class of 2019’s academic excellence, their college and university selection, and their commitment to being a positive change in the broader community speaks to the importance of our message, Touching Hearts and Winning Minds. Mindful of our founders, St. Angela Merici and Blessed John Henry Cardinal Newman, their influence continues to inspire us to teach, cultivate an excitement to grow in faith, learning and service with great care for each student. We offer our sincere congratulations to our graduates and their family members.

By the time you read the Trinity edition, we will be well underway with the construction of our new Stadium All-Weather Turf Field. Adding this new allweather turf field transforms the stadium field to a state-of-the-art, sustainable field that can be used year-round for our student athletes participating in soccer, lacrosse and football.

We remain very excited about our ongoing project work for the building of the two-story classroom building at the north end of campus to replace the portables which burned in the fires. The classroom building is in design development and will take an approximate year to complete all design and permitting elements. We anticipate the funding and construction for this project to be complete in 2021.

We remain greatly thankful to our faculty and staff who are deeply committed to continuing our mission of educating our students in the wholeness of mind, body and spirit. Furthermore, we are inspired by Pope Francis and his focus on the importance of our young people continuing to develop their faith life: “The very first truth I would tell each of you is this: God loves you. At every moment you are infinitely loved”.

Thank you for all you do to support the importance of Catholic education at Cardinal Newman High School.

With much gratitude,

Laura M. Held President

BACCALAUREATE MASS

T

he graduating class of 2019 was honored at a beautiful Mass at St. Joseph’s Church in Cotati.

They enjoyed the many traditional moments of the Baccalaureate Mass, including the procession of significant items that remind each member of the community of some aspect of their time at Newman.

Many families attended in support of their student. We mark their departure in so many ways, like graduation and the senior trip. However, as a Catholic school, we also have a special Mass near the time of their departure. Together we celebrated the mysteries of Christ as a living community of faith.

The people in attendance enjoyed an interactive homily given by Fr. Moses Brown. The homily focused on the need to ponder and consider what we seek in this world. Shall we seek riches, clothes, or fame? Or shall we seek the Kingdom of God and righteousness?

Hopefully, we all make a personal choice to do what is right and live our Faith fully. We should not seek the things of this world, but rather the things that eternally endure. The homily was based on the message of Jesus as found in Matthew 6:25-34.

2019

was a great year for Cardinal Newman Baseball. Following the 2018 season which was played without a home field to practice or play on, the 2019 team showed strength and resilience throughout the year. The team finished the season with a 21-7 record, 13-2 in league play, an NBL Oak League Championship, an NBL tournament championship and an NCS #1 seed in Division III. Though the Cardinals finished their season with a loss to Campolindo in the 2nd round of the NCS D3 playoffs, the 2019 season was truly a great success.

The 2019 team featured the NBL Oak Pitcher of the Year, Sean Flowers, and NBL Oak Player of the Year,

Jordan Herrfeldt, as well as five 1st-Team, two 2ndTeam and two Honorable Mention selections to the NBL Oak All-League.

The team will be remembered for its energetic and passionate play on the field and close camaraderie off of it. The seven seniors who are graduating and moving on to college next year will be missed as they have made a lasting impact on the program. Fifteen players will return next year to carry on the tradition of excellence that the team played and practiced with each and every day. We are already looking forward to the 2020 season.

WOMEN’S VARSITY LACROSSE

T

he 2019 women’s lacrosse season was filled with positive energy, patience, hard work and good attitudes despite the challenges we faced due to weather. The Cardinals placed 4th in league this season and qualified into the first round of NCS, our 6th season in a row competing in the NCS post season. In league, the Cardinals finished 6-6 and overall 6-13. The varsity team was led by captains Mary Almy, Lillian Larson and Sarah West. Highlights included a big win against Windsor after losing to them earlier in the season, our preseason trip to Sacramento and our annual Easter Break trip to Monterey. We had 4 players selected to All League teams: 1st team midfield, Mary Almy; 1st team defense, Lillian Larson; 2nd team midfield, Izzy Lekander and 2nd team goalie, Olivia Almy. Top goal scorers were

Mary Almy 64, Addie Frantz 32, Camille Bollinger 25, Izzy Lekander 21 and Madisen Williams 19. Leaders in groundballs included Mary Almy 97, Addie Frantz 47, Lillian Larson 42, Sarah West 33, Izzy Lekander 33, Madisen Williams 31. Our defense kept us in many games causing turnovers and creating our offense.

This team proved to be very determined and never gave up. This lesson will carry them far in life.

We will say goodbye to ten seniors that led us through a tough but fun season building and focusing on fundamentals and teamwork.

The coaches would like to thank the students, parents, faculty and staff for their support throughout the season. We look forward to Spring 2020.

e had another fantastic turnout for women’s lacrosse tryouts this year and our JV team carried a roster of 24. We had an overall record of 6-6 and 6-4 in league.

This team was dedicated, positive and always supportive of one another. They fought hard throughout the entire season and their tenacity and heart really showed as we ended with our final three games in league WINS! Gina Taurian led the team in number of goals with an impressive total of 31 and 9 assists. Lily Zichichi followed with 15 goals and 2 assists; Brooke Wall with 11 goals and 7 assists and Flor Castaneda with 10 goals and 3 assists. Agrata Sharma, Sophia Sage and Eloise vanZutphen all had 7 goals, Colbi Jacobs had 3 goals and Kathryn Clark and Jacalyn Kaufman both had one goal. We also had two of our defenders come up with goals this year- Victoria Nguyen with one and Sophia Sarshar with 2! Three of our JV players were moved up to Varsity at the end of our JV season- Brooke Wall, Gina Taurian and Lily Zichichi. Congrats to them! The whole team worked hard, improved their skills, had a lot of fun!

he Cardinal Newman Men’s Lacrosse Team made great progress in 2019. A total of 60% of our goals were assisted, we picked-up 498 ground balls, won 47% of our face-offs, and took 178 shots. The team went 7 and 10 for the season with a few good league wins and close games where the guys tried hard until the last whistle.

Tyler Facto was our only senior and he graduates having helped to build a foundation and lead this team for 4 years on varsity. He graduates with over 80 points (goals + assists), he was a team co-captain for 2 years, and most importantly - he strived hard to embody our three team virtues: hungry, humble, smart on and off the field. The junior class followed Tyler’s lead - George Grant lead the team (28 points), Peyton Dove (18 assists), Chris Hall (toughness & grit), Cole Petersen (72 ground balls), and Asher Holland (24 assists & 54 ground balls).

And the class of 2021 was right behind - lead by Patrick Cvitanovic (co-captain), Ewan Talbot (starting goalie), AJ DeMarinis (attack & midfield), and Chase O’Keefe (attack).

The future is very bright for Newman lacrosse. Thank you to all of the students, coaches, parents and administrators for making it a good year. We look forward to more and better in 2020.

T

he Cardinal Newman Men’s Golf team had a very successful season this year. They finished 3rd place in a very tough NBL Oak Division. They had to battle a very wet season which made many courses unplayable, but they persevered. The team qualified for the NCS DII Championship at Peacock Gap in San Rafael. They had the opportunity to play in the Wildcat Invitational (Marin Catholic) at Meadow Club and the Mustang Invitational (St. Vincent’s) at Marin Country Club. These were great opportunities for the boys to play top notch golf courses.

The team was led by seniors Brendan Frazier, James Parry, Cade Imm, Ronnie Allen, and Wyatt Larson. Frazier and Parry both earned second team all league. Other major contributors to our league success were junior Dylan McNeany and sophomore Isaac Rico.

The rest of the squad were senior Kieran O’Brien, and sophomores Nicky Girimonte, Mitch Wilson, and Shea Line.

A special thanks to Fountaingrove Country Club for allowing us to use the facility as our home course. They continue to be generous. A special thanks to assistant coaches: Gil Robello, Kevin Imm, and John Gilson. The season wouldn’t have been successful without them. It was a pleasure to be around these young men this year. I wish the seniors luck in their next chapter and I look forward to watching our returning players continue to develop their skills and a love for the game.

hat a year for Cardinal Newman Softball as it found some rarified air producing a 20-5 record that to date is the most prolific result by a Newman Softball team. In fact, you have to go back to 2006 and Ursuline softball to find a team that won more games! Included in this was a perfect league season, 10-0, capped with a 10-0 win over El Molino in the League Championship game. All of this led to the team receiving a first-round bye in the section playoffs and a first-round home game against Arcata.

After dispatching Arcata, 9-1, the team trekked north to McKinleyville ultimately falling 3-1 in a hard-fought

contest that went down to a diving catch of a line drive in the gap with the tying runs on base. We were excited to have our Freshman class step in and contribute immediately, our Sophomores raise their level of play and while we say goodbye to our four Seniors, Keegan Smith, Carissa Pisors, Mikayla McCormick and Haley Titone, we know they will be successful in their endeavors as they pass the torch to this year’s Junior class that includes Abby Clark, Daniella Evans, and All League performers Caroline Courier and Erin Schnabel. The future is bright for Newman softball!

TRACK & FIELD

hat a great year for Track and Field! The mens’ team had 3 wins and two losses and the womens’ team had 1 win and 4 losses. Most would question a great year with this many losses, let me explain.

The boys started out strong with the knowledge they had a chance to win it all, hanging a pendent in the gym. Their first meet was against Healdsburg and Ukiah. They won that meet, 68pts - CN, 42pts - Ukiah and 58pts - Healdsburg. Next was Analy.

Again, should have won, but our top sprinter, Justin Patterson, was injured during the meet and was unable to finish his events, Analy - 72pts, CN - 60pts.

The next meet against Elsie Allen was a sweep, Cardinal Newman scoring 101pts and Elsie Allen 33pts. Finally, our last North Bay League meet against Rancho Cotate fell on a Wednesday during our Easter Break. With half the team in town and able to run, they lost by 9 points. The team was led by great throwers, Sam Davison (Discus, Shot Put), Hector Vega (Shot Put) and Camden Weaver (Shot Put). Both Sam and Hector competed in the Meet of Champions, Sam earning a fourth place medal. Also leading the team were two sprinters, Justin Patterson (200m, 400m)

and Ryan Duffy (300H). Justin also earned his spot at the Meet of Champions in both his events.

The ladies, all 8 of them, ran, threw or jumped in every meet. An athlete is only allowed 4 events per meet, and these ladies got every point possible. These girls did it all. Leading the team were Julia Donlon, Alex Niehaus, and Aysia Dural. Aysia was the top 300H in the NBL and competed in both the 300H and the Long Jump at Meet of Champions.

Again, it was a great year for Track and Field. Not only did we have great performances by great athletes, we also built a wonderful track family. Every athlete finished their season showing amazing sportsmanship and character.

WRESTLING (late submittal from Winter Sports)

T

he Cardinal Newman wrestling team completed the 2018-19 season at the end of February. The team finished the season in fifth place out of thirteen teams in the league tournament.

With a team smaller than past years, the Cardinals struggled in dual meets putting up an overall record of 1-4. This marks the first losing season since 2010-11.

However, each individual put up a strong performance at five varisty tournaments throughout the season.

Ultimately, Daniel Boyle finished out the season a League Champion, qualifying for the North Coast Section finals along with six of his teammates. Senior Jacob Apodaca; juniors Eric Scrivanich, Miles Wycoff, Ethan Kollenborn; and sophomores Hunter Halkovich and Clayton Utter all put up a fight at the North Coast Section finals. Kollenborn culminated the season for the Cardinals by placing sixth at the North Coast Section finals.

Most notably, this year’s team featured its first female wrestler in Cardinal Newman history. Freshman Ruby

Joseph completed the season placing fourth overall in the section tournament, and qualified for the state finals.

It is with great pride that Coaches Tim Harris, Hector Sandoval and Patrick Utter congratulate the Cardinals on a successful 2018-19 season, and look forward to the return of the team next season.

GRAD NIGHT - SATURDAY, JUNE 1, 2019

I

t was a warm breezy evening at Cardinal Newman’s Ed Lloyd Field for the 2019 Commencement Ceremony. The day was filled with excitement, anticipation and three Valedictorians, each with a different amazing speech. Mimi Almy represented the girls, while Matthew Forsell and Lucas Loughner represented the boys. There were many happy faces and proud family and friends looking on as 149 students received their diplomas, recognizing four years of accomplishment.

Once the diplomas were distributed and the traditional “turning of the tassel” was complete, the transition from candidate to graduate was accomplished. Flying hats, hugs and flashing cameras marked the celebration. Once photos were taken, congratulations given, and family members hugged, the graduates walked over to the gym where the allnight substance-free celebration began in their honor

The graduates celebrated with tons of great food and drink, live entertainment, carnival games, karaoke, and contests lasting until the early hours of the morning.

The goal for the evening was to collect as many tickets as possible to win one of the many prizes that were distributed that evening. There were lots of fun and silly ways to win those tickets from racing pigs to shooting hoops which only added to the excitement.

It was continuous fun and laughter as they celebrated with their friends, and as a class, for one last time.

The evening was a HUGE success due entirely to the help and support from all of our parent volunteers. A BIG “thank you” goes out to the many families who generously donated their time, talent, prizes and gift cards for our graduates. We absolutely could not do this without the amazing hard-working volunteers that showed up like they always do!

AP CAPSTONE: THE PROGRAM GROWS

T

his year our school’s AP Capstone Program doubled in size, adding the second course to the twoyear program. Teacher Eddie Wolbert became certified to teach AP Seminar and Dr. Maryanne Berry earned qualifications for teaching the second year, AP Research. Seminar is a foundational course that trains students to conduct scholarly research as they investigate critical issues through multiple lenses.

Research involves a year-long study of a self-chosen topic through which students generate a 20-page research paper. “Capstone compliments other AP and academic courses taught on campus,” says Dr. Berry, “Students draw from deep interests and apply thinking, writing and presenting skills as they synthesize knowledge across different fields.”

James Parry’s research originated in his love of sports and led him to employ skills learned in AP Statistics in order to critically analyze the methods through which professional football teams select elite quarterbacks.

A number of students found inspiration in their CBSL projects, extending them through scholarly investigation. Linda Castaneda devoted herself to action research seeking the most successful methods of engaging a young student in studying English.

Kabir Daniel, influenced by the educational theorist Sir Ken Robinson, crafted an organic approach to a multimodal art class he taught at St. Rose. Ana Negri, who worked in a memory care facility, studied the effects of familiar music on elders with Alzheimer’s.

Katelyn Johnson’s research found inspiration in her work with the Surfrider Foundation. Mary Almy pursued the issue of educational inequalities through a statistical study that exploded the myth that federal aid is sufficient in meeting the needs of deserving students.

CARDINAL NEWMAN HIGH SCHOOL

Three students pursued their passion for film by selecting and analyzing movies that captivated them. Cade Imm employed a philosophical approach in exploring the question of fate and free will in the neo western No Country for Old Men. Grace McPhee examined faith and feminism in the recently acclaimed Lady Bird. Christian Olson explored the psychological implications of perfectionism in the film Whiplash.

Other students employed a sociocultural lens as they focused on beliefs and attitudes that shaped thinking. Tyler Facto’s study involved interviewing students who had suffered the loss of their homes in the Tubbs fire. Karen Whirley, interested in the fields of medicine and technology sought to discover a relationship between personality types and attitudes toward the use of robotic surgery. Carissa Pisors, arguing for better education for youth on the conflicts in the Middle East, conducted surveys of elementary school students’ perceptions.

Through their research, student artists Stephanie Beerbower and Yasi “Alice” Xi deepened their knowledge and practice. Stephanie focused on the work of an artist activist in the context of the Black Lives Matter Movement. Alice’s investigation involved analysis of painters Frida Kahlo and Francis Bacon with the goal of understanding the effect of physical trauma on the artists’ lives.

Cardinal Newman was among the first two percent of high schools in the nation to adopt the fastgrowing program. Dr. Berry says, “Capstone not only challenges students to take an original approach to learning, it invites educators to reimagine the paradigms of teaching. As teachers judged each student’s oral defense, we witnessed, firsthand, how successful interdisciplinary learning can be.”

CNHS CHRISTIAN SERVICE SENIOR BOARDS 2019

O

n Wednesday May 22, 2019, the Senior Class inspired the Cardinal Newman community with their Service Learning Project presentations. Students, teachers, parents and community mentors witnessed an array of presentations based on the year-long service project efforts each senior completed. The presentations focused on Christian Service related to one or more of the Catholic Social Teachings of our Church. Students demonstrated peer-reviewed research as it related to the social issue of the service project. In addition, students shared heartwarming stories about the heart-to-heart connections made with individuals serviced. The lessons learned from these service project efforts are lifelong, which many of our students made clear in their presentations.

W

e wish to thank the many mentors in our extended community for the support of our students as they guided them through the completion of these Service Projects. The combined efforts allowed our students to not only learn valuable lessons about themselves, their faith and community, but also gave them the opportunity to complete thousands of service hours serving those in need.

We wish to thank Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Ahlstrom for their continued support of the Cardinal Newman Community-Based Service Learning program. Wayne is a Cardinal Newman Alumnus and Amy Ahlstrom has served as a mentor to Elena Aldridge and Bella Silveira for the Threads for Teens service project this year and has served as mentor for many years past.

Wayne Ahlstrom has been instrumental in assisting our students with dreaming up ways to fundraise for their service projects, in addition to making personal donations. Wayne and Amy are carrying on the service project work their daughter, Allyson Ahlstrom class of 2013, established throughout her high school years at Ursuline and Cardinal Newman.

Also, Cardinal Newman parents, Mrs. Rhonda and Gary LeKander have been instrumental supporting our students. Rhonda has been a mentor for years and will continue next year. Gary has used his construction

skills to assist with these service projects. This year, these Cardinal Newman parents and mentors helped seniors Avery Cargill, Dino Kahauleli, Dani Anton and Biffy Tosti with creative fundraisers and made personal financial contributions as well. Through these efforts the seniors were able to purchase all the items needed to renovate the rooms of two young children recovering from terminal illnesses. This example of mentorship demonstrates how much the extended Cardinal Community supports the overall process involved in the service projects efforts of our students.

Again, thank you to all who have served as mentors this past year and over the years; without this type of support, we would be at a loss.

In addition, we wish to thank the many teachers involved in the CBSL program. Each and every person at Cardinal Newman has been instrumental in supporting the CBSL program and for this we are most

appreciative. The English and Religion departments are most involved with specific CBSL curriculum, therefore we thank each of these teachers for the extra time and effort they spent with each of their students.

Dr. Maryanne Berry, English Mrs. Catherine Eggleston, English Mrs. Eleanor Trent, English Mrs. Heather Wilson, English Mr. Eddie Wolbert, English Mrs. Alice Meyer, Religion Mrs. Melissa Lobbregt, Religion Mr. Ryan Corriveau, Religion Mrs. Karen Rubattino, CBSL Fr.

STUDENT LIFE

My Mission God has created me to do Him some definite service.

He has committed some work to me, which He has not committed to another.

I have my mission. I may never know it in this life, but I shall be told it in the next.

I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons.

He has not created me for naught. I shall do good; I shall do His work.

I shall be an angel of peace, a preacher of truth in my own place, while not intending it if I do but keep His commandments.

Therefore, I will trust Him, whatever I am, I can never be thrown away.

If I am in sickness, my sickness may serve Him. In perplexity, my perplexity may serve Him. If I am in sorrow, my sorrow may serve Him. He does nothing in vain.

He knows what He is about.

He may take away my friends.

He may throw me among strangers.

He may make me feel desolate, make my spirits sink, hide my future from me.

Still, He knows what He is about.

OXFORD SCHOLARS WEDNESDAY, MAY 1, 2019

T

he topic for our evening of discussion was answering the question “What changes would be best for our school if John Henry Newman is proclaimed a Saint by the Church this October?”

The acceptance of a second miracle credited to him opens the possibility, and expectation is running high. Our fourteen outstanding students, the top ten percent of their class, mulled over this possibility and shared their suggestions with insight and reflection.

Thanks to Jeff Scharfen’s moderation, questions were posed that allowed thoughtful ideas to flow from them, and for students to respond to each other. Also included were questions from parents in the audience; allowing a flowing exchange.

50

CARDINAL NEWMAN HIGH SCHOOL

The overwhelming majority support not changing the school name, instead suggesting that the sainthood be recognized with an emphasis on study of Cardinal Newman’s ideas and life. Areas set aside for contemplation, with a statue and a fountain were supported. Art projects and possible decoration of the school, such as with murals, gained interest. The best use of his sainthood would be reflected by being an inspiration for students, parents, faculty and staff. Over time, the students feel the saint status can be built into what we do and how we live it. Though there is a St. John Neumann already, our patron will likely be St. John Henry Newman, with the feast day of October 9th, the day we also recall the great firestorm of 2017.

The show was directed and produced by Ms. Chelsea Beyries and was held on May 1st and 2nd at the Raven Theater in Healdsburg. It was a grand success!

(Deirdre Mary was 10 years old when she was killed at Lake Sonoma in 1998, aged 10. She would have graduated Ursuline ‘06). Marty II graduated in ‘09, Desi ‘12, Patrick ‘13, Maggie ‘17, Ciaran ‘19. Ciaran will attend the University of San Diego.

All kids were educated at St Eugene’s Cathedral School. Patty and I have been in the parish since 1987.

I have been on the School Board and have been on the Parish finance committee for 20 years. I currently sit on the Diocesan Finance Committee. Patty and I also have been leaders for the Evenings For the Engaged for 30 years.

CARDINAL NEWMAN HIGH SCHOOL

We choose Catholic education for our children and have reaped the benefits. Our children have embraced the teachings of Christ and we now have five grandchildren at St Eugene’s (the other five will be going there as well!). All three of our daughter-in-laws have converted to the Catholic Faith.

While for many years we struggled to make our tuition payments as a one-income family, the sacrifice was well worth it. The value of Catholic Education is worth more now than ever before. We believe it is very difficult for practicing Catholics to express their beliefs freely in the public school environment.

We urge all parents and grandparents to really consider the importance and sacrifices necessary to provide this generation with a Catholic Education.”

MOMS’ CLUB 2019

T

he theme of this year’s Moms’ Club was “Giving” and we set out to model after Cardinal Newman’s Faith & Service as quoted below: “CNHS embraces students of all religious backgrounds, while striving to inspire and develop them to act as Christian gentlemen and women by giving back to their community and serving as leaders and role models to others.”

While asking this of our children we, the CN Moms’ Club, felt it to be just as important for us to mirror this philosophy of giving back and serving. We were able to achieve this through donating to those in need, in remembrance and in celebration.

We greatly thank all who attended our Moms’ Club events and graciously contributed to a heartwarming year of giving back.

Our efforts allowed us to donate to: •

Sutter Breast Cancer Center in honor of all our CN Moms in remembrance, in treatment and in remission.

•

Adopt a Paradise Fire Victim Family for Christmas

•

Support the healing of a CN student with a Traumatic Brain Injury

•

Sponsorship of a Senior Scholarship Student allowing participation in Senior Events

•

Purchase of raffle prizes for CN Grad Night along with collecting $500 in Gift Cards for CN Grad Night

This has been a year filled with giving, and in the end we believe that the Moms’ Club walked the same walk as our children at Cardinal Newman and for this we are the ones who truly received.

Thank you for the support, CN Moms’ Club JULY 2019 • TRINITY MAGAZINE

GOLF TOURNAMENT

DON’T MISS O NEXT Y UT ON E TOURN AR’S GOLF AMENT TO BE HELD O N THUR SDAY, JUNE 4 , 2020!

29TH ANNUAL ALUMNI GOLF TOURNAMENT – A SUCCESS!

O

ne hundred golfers hit the green to play in the 29th Annual Alumni Golf Tournament on Thursday, June 6, 2019. It was a perfectly beautiful day for golf and golfers were able to enjoy a full 18 holes!

Once golfers were registered and collected their raffle tickets, mulligans, and tee prizes, they enjoyed tasty bites before heading out to the course. As soon as the carts hit the course, golfers discovered that they would be “Golfing Around the World”, finding holes representing different countries such as Germany, Italy, China, Mexico, France, Cuba, and America.

Golfers enjoyed food and/or drink on many holes, making for a very festive event. On Hole #3, Passport Photos were taken by Bella Photography as golfers enjoyed a layover in Cuba by relaxing with cigars. Golfers also had the chance to win a car thanks to Silveira Buick GMC for making a hole-in-one car available!

Following 18 holes of golf, participants gathered in the club’s beautiful outdoor reception area for drinks and a fabulous Mexican buffet. Golfers and guests enjoyed the evening as they shared stories and viewed the auction items, raffle prizes and tournament trophy.

We want to thank our auction donors . . . your continuous support is greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Congratulations to the defending champion foursome of Chris Gregus, Cory Robello, Gil Robello, and Matt Vukicevich for taking 1st place again this year! Their names will be engraved on the perpetual golf trophy! Don’t miss out on next year’s golf tournament to be held on Thursday, June 4, 2020!
