The 31st Annual APWA-Minnesota Chapter Summer Golf Outing returned for the third year to Bunker Hills Golf Course in Coon Rapids on July 11. This year, the event welcomed nearly 160 golfers under idyllic mid-summer skies.

 

As in the past, this year’s event yielded fantastic support from our local corporate sector in the form of another record number of sponsors. On behalf of our chapter, I would like thank each of our 28 platinum- and gold-level chapter sponsors for their generous financial support and unique contributions to the event:

 

ADS	HDR	SRF
AET	Insituform	Stanley Consultants
Bolton and Menk	Kimley Horn	Stantec
Braun	Krause Anderson	Stonebrooke
Cretex	MacQueen	TKDA
EDM	MSA	URS
Ess Brothers	Neenah	Visu-Sewer
Falls Plows	ProSource	WSB
Garland	RT Vision
GoodPointe	SEH

 

 

Thanks also to all of this year’s chapter volunteers; course sponsor and Coon Rapids City Administrator Steve Gatlin; emcees Mitch Hoeft and Mike Marti; registration desk attendants Nick Egger, Wayne Houle, and Justin Messner; photography assistants Beth Engum and Sue Mason; and our ever-present go-fers, Charles Cadenhead and Mark Kasma, who were kept busy right up to the end of the banquet.  

 

If you get the chance at the upcoming APWA National Congress in Chicago or the subsequent chapter Fall Conference, please recognize each of these individuals for their efforts.  Without all of their help, our chapter could not put on such a great event!

 

In addition, I would like to thank our gracious hosts at Bunker Hills, including catering manager Angie Johnson and club pro Tim Anderson.  Both of them did a fantastic job in addressing the issues from last year to ensure that the event continued to live up to its high reputation.

 

If you attended the banquet, you were provided with a survey to offer direct feedback to our committee regarding the summer golf event.  We are reviewing the responses and will make every effort to incorporate your opinions into next year’s event. If you did not get an opportunity to fill out a questionnaire, please contact Jason Sprague at (612) 217-4420 and we’ll do our best to accommodate your suggestions.

 

Thanks again and we’ll see you next summer!
