Sunny skies and warm temperatures had participants of the 2007 McClure School Advisory Board Thomas Lonsbury Scholarship Golf Classic on Thursday, October 4, agreeing that it was the best one yet.    A record breaking 18 teams took to the course during the day, and joined even more scholarship supporters for an evening dinner and program.  The event netted over $13,000 for the scholarship fund, which has provided 5 scholarships to date for Information and Telecommunication Systems students.

Once again, volunteers played a huge role in the success of this event.   A big thank you to advisory board member and golf classic director Tom Lonsbury; 2007-08 scholarship recipient Ben Rawson and his father David; ITS students Krystal LaFontaine, Trey Fleming, Jeff Risner, and Tyler Claude-Pierre; and Susan Downard, Assistant Dean for Development in the Scripps College. 

The 2008 tournament will be Thursday, October 2, at the Athens Country Club.  Go to www.ouitsboard.com for details and registration information.
