Teed Off and CardedSeptember 6…a perfect day for golf! LaSalle Bank’s Wealth Managementfoursome of Jeff Berman, Tom Bassett, Bruce Sturgeon and Ken Rakowskigrossed an 8-under score on the Highland Park Country Club course to winthe main prize. The putting contest, sponsored by Ravinia Festival, was athree-way tie when the shotgun sounded to hit the links. So the putt-offwas after dinner on the dining room carpet, won by Jim Zacher of theHarris Bank. Other women’s/men’s winners were Sue Mangin and RussArmstrong (Closest to the Pin) and Liz Peterson and Jim Zacher (LongestDrive). The team that got the “Most Exercise”: Earl Slavin (Crossroads CarWash), Rick Shoemaker (Rick’s Auto Body and Collision Repair), Dan Buss(D & R Autoworks) and Stan Kawamoto (K Brothers Tile).The Bootery and Therapeutic Kneads sponsored the all-importantbeverage cart, with the latter also providing mini massages at the 10th tee.National City Bank handed out goodie bags as the golfers sped off to theirrespective tees with First Bank of Highland Park crying towels. Those wereneeded: Sadly, no one made a hole in one for the $25,000 Wenk Insuranceprize. Too numerous to mention are the Chamber businesses thatsponsored individual holes and donated silent auction items—more thanever. But without the <strong>org</strong>anizers, we’d never have gotten off the tee. ManyPlayers and carts lining up for the 5th Annual Highland ParkChamber of Commerce Golf Outing in September.thanks to the outing <strong>org</strong>anizers: Katie Wiswald (Highland Park Bank &Trust), Sharon Eisendrath (Signs Now), <strong>Scott</strong> Adams (National City Bank),Carolyn Rikje (SEE Eyewear), with help from Charlie Barnes (The CustomFramer) and the pros at Highland Park Country Club.More women played at this year’s outing than ever!
