Hello everyone,

Last year’s new location was such a success that we’ve decided to return.  The Lake Branch APWA Golf Outing is being held on Thursday July 20, 2017 at the White Deer Run Golf Club in Vernon Hills with an 8:30 am shotgun start.  We will be providing a continental breakfast, lunch, and immediately following the  outing  we  will  be  having  appetizers  while  giving  away  prizes  inside  the  air  conditioned clubhouse. There are excellent sponsorship opportunities for consultants and vendors and the outing will be a great time for everyone.

In the middle of all this fun, please remember that the sole purpose of the outing is to raise money for the scholarship fund.  While we keep piecing together fragile budgets for our organizations, please remember the struggles faced by the students and their families. The Lake Branch of the Chicago Metropolitan Chapter of the American Public Works Association has scholarships available for eligible students pursuing a degree in Public Works Administration, Civil Engineering or Environmental Engineering, and  individuals  pursuing  continuing  education  courses  relating  to  public  works.  In  2016  the  Branch awarded $17,725 in scholarships and in 2017 the Branch will be awarding $18,915 in scholarships.

Costs of education keep rising, so every scholarship we can provide helps lighten the load for these dedicated young people.  Come make this effort a reality by joining the Lake Branch Chapter at White Deer Run Golf Club in Vernon Hills, IL on Thursday July 20, 2017.  The event will be a scramble event with lunch on the course.  Registration will start at 7:00 a.m. with an 8:30 a.m. shotgun start.  Arrive early for a complimentary continental breakfast following registration.  Great door prizes, free stuff, cold libations, tons of challenging contests, and of course golf are all on the day’s fun agenda.   Come spend the day with friends and do something great for the future of Public Works!
