30 Teams Compete for
Chevron Denmark won the AmCham
Cup 2006.
Main Sponsor:
AmCham Cup 2006
The fifth annual AmCham Cup continued
the tournament’s tradition as
a top-notch sporting and networking
event. It was held at Simon’s Golf Club in
Humlebæk on August 24. Team Chevron
Denmark won the tournament. Hilton
Copenhagen Airport was the main sponsor.
This year’s 120 players competed and networked
on the golf course’s varied holes,
including the 10th, where the 18 golfers
who cleared the water and hit the narrow
green won the new “Citigroup Drive to
the Green” prize – a case of Brooklyn Beer.
The top team prize was four Motorola
RAZR mobile phones; the top individual
prize, for the longest drive, was round-trip
airfare on Continental Airlines to New
York City and a three nights’ stay at the
city’s luxurious Hilton Millennium Hotel.
All players were equipped with AmCham
caps provided by Sun Microsystems.
Participant Alan Pitts, managing director
of Chevron Denmark, reported, “I found
the AmCham Cup to be a tremendous
opportunity to meet a diversity of people
within the Danish-American business community.
The quality of sponsors is a testament
to the value businesses place on
well-organized and attended events such
as the AmCham Cup.”
“A day like this really brings value to my
business,” said Kaare K. Førby, sales manager,
Manufacturing, for SAS Institute A/S.

Thanksgiving
Already the largest event of its kind in the
region, the AmCham Family Thanksgiving’s
size and reputation continue to grow.
There were 420 guests at this year’s dinner,
including more than 140 children. The children
were entertained by volunteers from
Denmark’s International Study Program (DIS)
who facilitated games and crafts; a balloon
artist; and face painters in the specially deco-
Ambassador Cain carves the first turkey.
The Gospel Sisters provide the entertainment in the main ballroom,
rated kid’s room, another AmCham
Thanksgiving tradition. The event was a celebration
of family, togetherness and bounty,
said AmCham Chairman Paul Coleman.
Another highlight of the festivities was
AmCham’s traditional Thanksgiving gift raffle,
which generous sponsors have made into
a dramatic giveaway of valuable prizes
including airline tickets to Milan and the
Face painters ‘decorated’ the children.

the latest mobile phones and Xboxes, wines,

AmCham thanks the volunteers, sponsors,
