The Columbia City High School Alumni Association (CCHSAA) & Columbia City High School staff will co-host the 3rd Annual CCHSAA Florida Scramble Golf Outing at Eagle Glen on September 19, 2009.

The entry fee is $200 per team ($50 per person). Entry fees include green fees, golf cart and lunch. The top 3 teams with the lowest scores will get paid in gift certificates: 1st place = $400; 2nd place = $200; 3rd place = 100 and there will be various other give-aways & prizes as well as a planned silent auction of various items.

Profits from the golf outing will be used by CCHS for students and by the CCHSAA for student scholarships for college and post-secondary training. The CCHSAA plans to provide/award a minimum of at least one scholarship for a 2010 graduating senior. Proceeds from the outing will determine the extent of the benefits that can be provided to students.

Teams will have a choice of an 8:15 am or 1:30 pm start as there will be 2 flights for golfers to play in. Participants that are members of Eagle Glen will receive a discounted rate to participate. This golf outing is another opportunity to bond with classmates and friends from the past as well as support current students and show that great Eagle Pride. Other opportunities include the events of Homecoming weekend (the game, the parade, building tours, etc.) and several class reunions. 

We are very proud of our CCHS & CCJHS families of alumni and wish to encourage each class to try and have one team or at least one person represent their class in this 3rd annual golf outing at Eagle Glen" said Columbia City High School principal Gregg Goewert.

Lunch will be served at noon and the silent auction will take place during lunch. Non-golfers are welcome to join the golfers at noon for lunch and bid at the silent auction. The luncheon fee for non-golfers will be $10.

Participants in the golf outing are encouraged to sign up at the Eagle Glen Golf Course by calling 248-GOLF. Non-golfers may sign up for the lunch by calling CCHS at 244-6136.

Anyone can participate in the outing, the lunch, or just come and visit with friends at Eagle Glen.

"We look forward to a great crowd at the parade & at the football game vs. Dekalb on Friday night (7pm) September 18," Goewert added. "Pride, excellence, tradition, victory!"
