ANNUAL SIOA GOLF OUTING
The Annual Saint Ignatius of Antioch Golf Outing was sponsored by the Alumni Association and was held Wednesday, July 28, 2010 at Bob-O-Link in Avon, Ohio.
The golfers, prizes, hole sponsors, food, dinner guests, and weather could not have been better for our Annual Golf Classic. There were 88 golfers and many winners. Top prize of a 32” TV went to Bob Downs (his wife is Patrice Gravens ’61 Downs). Congratulations to the Top Golfers who belonged to Carl Casale’s foursome! And Paul and Ursula Jurcisin, plus the entire Jurcisin Family, are to be commended for a great event! Thanks to Jim and Lynna Snyder ’66 Metrisin for the special photo shots of everyone at the event (coming soon)
The annual golf outing grossed $11,727 and our profit was $5,493.

2011 FOUNDERS DAY WEEKEND DATES
The dates have been set for next year's Founders' Day Weekend and Gala. March 11th, 12th and 13th are sure to be days filled with fun, food and festivities!
The Gala will be on Saturday the 12th and will again be held at the Westwood Country Club in Rocky River. Based on the sold-out success of 2010's Gala, it's not too soon to mark your calendars, as attendance will be limited with Sponsors and Underwriters receiving priority seating.
Last year, events at the Gala raised over 108 thousand dollars with every auction item selling, and even a few extra. Emcees Danny Coughlin and Michael Heaton kept the crowd laughing and bidding all night. One of the highlights of the evening came during the auction of one of Saint Ignatius' original pews. After the bidding had reached the astounding high mark of nearly three thousand dollars, Father Jim suddenly "remembered" that there was a second pew available for auction!
Other events of the weekend included a Historian's tour of Saint Ignatius of Antioch Church on Friday night and Sunday's free pancake breakfast. All events were successful, well attended and memorable.
Please, save the date for this year's Founders' Day Weekend and Gala!
