Spots remain for Terra golf outing
A few spots remain for the annual Terra State Community College golf outing June 1 at Sycamore Hills Golf Course.
The “Fore Student Scholarships Golf Tournament,” sponsored by the Terra College Foundation, raises funds to provide scholarships for Terra students.
Fee is $100 per person and includes 18 holes of golf, lunch and dinner. The outing is limited to the first 32 paid teams. There are also a variety of sponsorship opportunities, ranging from $100 to $1,000.
The Terra Ladies Golf Outing will be July 9, also at Sycamore Hills. Proceeds go to the St. Francis Guild Scholarship Fund to assist women students at Terra.
Fee is $55 per person and includes 18 holes of golf, continental breakfast and lunch. Hole sponsorships are $100.
New this year, as an added opportunity on the day of the ladies outing, is the Ohio LPGA Golf Professionals “Swing Like a Girl” Clinic. LPGA golf professionals will share tips on grip, posture, alignment and swing fundamentals. The clinic begins at 8 a.m., prior to the 9:45 a.m. shotgun start of the tournament. Fee is $15 per golfer.
For information, contact Ed Mayer, Executive Director of the Terra College Foundation, at 419-559-2263.
Summer Cooling program starts June 1
The 2012 Summer Cooling Program operated by WSOS will begin June 1 and last until Aug. 31 or until funds are exhausted, whichever comes first. Appointments are being accepted now.
The program, which operated for two months the last several years, has expanded this year to include June. The benefit amount per household has also increased this year to $250, up $75 from previous years.
Lighthouse, museum post new hours
With the cold weather well behind us, the lighthouse and museum have been cleaned and special tours are now taking place.
The regular hours have been changed as there were more people waiting for the lighthouse to open, and not as many near closing time. The weekday hours are: noon to 4 p.m. Tuesday after Memorial Day through Friday before Labor Day; 4 to 6 p.m. Sunday evenings June through August; 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. the second Saturday of each month May through October. The last tour to climb the lighthouse is 15 minutes before closing.
