The 16th Annual Bruening-Loncaric Invitational Announcement

Posted: 5/25/2009 9:26:35 PM

Yes, we’re doing it again! Join us in September for the 16th Annual Bruening-Loncaric Invitational.

This year’s event will be held Saturday, September 19 and Sunday, September 20, 2009.

The Invitational will consist of 27 holes on Saturday and 18 holes on Sunday, at our home away from home, Rend Lake Golf Course. Saturday’s play will determine Team Members & Foursomes for Sunday’s play. Teams will play as a foursome on Sunday in a Best Ball Scramble. The Team Champions will be crowned shortly after Sunday’s play.

Our Low Gross, Closest to the Pin and Longest Drive Champions will be determined from Saturday’s round. These champions will be announced at Saturday evening’s banquet held under the pavilion next to the 18th green.

The entry fee for the event will include a small charitable amount to benefit St Vincent Home for Children. We hope to have some raffle items to help increase the amount we provide to them. Last year with raffle items, individual and corporate funds we were able to donate $4215.00. Our Invitational thus far has donated $34,925. So if your company or organization has a method of providing assistance to our chosen charity, through a cash donation or item(s) suitable for raffle or attendance prize, please contact us or use the enclosed contribution request letter. If for some reason you’re unable to join us, the children of St Vincent would be appreciative of any donation you’d be willing to make. All proceeds raised will benefit St Vincent.

This year’s entry fee is $165.00; it is due August 14, 2009. Entry fees are non-refundable.

Make check or money orders payable to Mike Loncaric. Entry fees will NOT be accepted after this date! The fee includes greens fee and cart for Saturday and Sunday, the dinner banquet on Saturday, the trophies awarded and attendance gifts. There are 120 positions available. Please respond by above date or before, to assure your spot. If you know of, or wish to have someone invited, please be sure to get their name, address, and phone number to us as soon as possible. Positions are available by individual invitation only!

We’re certainly looking forward to another great year, so come join us in September. It’s not just about the golf.
