Golfers took to the links to help raise funds for the Bob Brittain Memorial Scholarships that are given out each spring to graduating seniors. 

The “Teddy L. Gruver” Founder’s Trophy is currently on display in the main office at Columbia City High School, 600 North Whitley Street, Columbia City, IN.  Winners of this annual event will have their names added to the trophy and a photo of the winning team will be displayed in the CCHS main office. 

The event is more about fun, sportsmanship, and fundraising to benefit current CCHS students and the community than about superior golf skills or winning the golf tournament.  It is open to all who love the game, not just CCHS alumni.

All monies raised from sponsorships, donations by patrons & golfers of monetary gifts or prizes will be placed in the Whitley County Community Foundation and used for scholarships.

Fifty-six (56) persons attended The WHITLEY COUNTY, INDIANA "SNOWBIRD" LUNCHEON' on Tuesday March 04, 2014 at HOMER's ORIGINAL SMORGASBORD in SEBRING, FLORIDA

Guests begin arriving from all over WHITLEY COUNTY around 11:00 am and spent time reminiscing and visiting with each other. There was lots of fellowship and smiles as Whitley County guests, some fulltime Florida residents and some six-month "Snowbirds" and some "Snowflakes" (less than two months). Everyone enjoyed the warm sunny weather and were happy not to be "Up North" due to the snow and cold temperatures this year.

The Whitley County Luncheon is the expansion of the CCHS ALUMNI ASSOCIATION brunches started 14 years ago in Florida.  With so many families from the WC area visiting or living in Florida in the winter months, the central location of Sebring, FL. is ideal.  Homers has fine foods at a very reasonable price.

All present were greeted and welcomed by host Don Wineland, a Whitley County , resident and a "Snowbird". Don has attended the FLORIDA events for the past eight years. Don was assisted with the help of hostess Rosalie Kay Farber Shoda Kleespie. Those attending this year's events came from Columbia City, Churubusco and South Whitley area. There were two guests from Warsaw.

Next year's "WHITLEY COUNTY LUNCHEON" will be held again at Homer's in Sebring on Tuesday March 3, 2015 at 11:00 AM.  For more information check your high school alumni association or the WC Chamber of Commerce.
