To the editor:
Indian Creek would like to thank the following individuals and businesses for donating their time and making a contribution to our annual golf outing. Thanks to them, the 18th-annual Indian Creek Golf Outing was a huge success. All proceeds will benefit the Indian Creek athletic program and football team.
First, I would like to thank Marshall Hone and Highland Springs Golf Course for their overwhelming hospitality. I would like to thank my football staff for all of the hard work they did in preparation for the outing and the time they put in during the outing. I would like to thank the coaches' wives and families for helping with the food preparations. I would like to thank the football parents for their donations toward the golf outing.
I would also like to thank the following people and businesses for their special contributions toward the day, Pat Stewart and Bob Merriman. I would also like to thank our Booster Club and Mothers Club for their help in organizing the event. I wish to convey my deep appreciation to the following people or businesses for being hole sponsors: Gold sponsors ($100): Trinity Health System, LaRue Trucking, Dan Bove, Wintersville Upper Ohio Valley Fraternal Order of Police, Dr. Thomas Matanzo, Dr. John Figel, Drew's Schutzen Club, Wintersville Volunteer Fire Department, Wheeler Funeral Home, Crestview Veterinary Clinic, Everhart-Bove Funeral Home, Northeastern Utilities LLC, Mayor Ed "Spud" Fithen Mingo Junction, Dr. William Grant, Transmart USA, Daniel and Trudy Dunlevy, Sagepoint Financial-Nick Mamula Investment and Retirement, Mingo Knights of Columbus Hall Rentals, Donnie's Towing and Tires, Wintersville Trophy, Hall Concrete, Wintersville Trophy, Dunlope-Shorac Funeral Home, Softite Community Federal Credit Union, Steven Christian Memorial American Legion 557, KBJ Contracting, Clancey Printing, Legal Hair, Valley 3 Building, Border Patrol and Dynamo Freight LLC, Ron Tweedy: Silver sponsor ($75): Hillsboro Tavern; Bronze sponsor ($50): Shawn Zarych Grand Knight Council 4361.
Some of these sponsors have been loyal and committed to our golf outing and have never missed being a sponsor for this great event. I would like to thank all 18 teams that participated in the outing. Some of these golfers have never missed an outing. This golf outing continues to create a positive atmosphere and camaraderie among supporters of Indian Creek and alumni.
The outing continues to thrive in large part because of the support and generosity of our local community, and for that, Indian Creek says thank you. I can proudly say as the head football coach, it was a great day for the Red and Gold of Indian Creek.
