2009 AIA Dayton Golf Outing
The Eighteenth Annual AIA Dayton Golf Outing was a successful event once again thanks to this year's golfers and generous sponsors. Over 100 golfers enjoyed a sunny day at Bellbrook's Sugar Valley Country Club. They started the day with a delicious City Barbeque lunch sponsored by Shook Construction. Golf carts were sponsored by JMD Architectural Products and Shell + Meyer Associates. After the 1:00 shotgun start, players competed over 18 holes of golf as they quenched their thirst at various beverage centers sponsored by Chapel Electric and Becker Construction. Four skill prize awards, sponsored by Rhecors General Contractor, were given during the dinner presentation. Laura McCaffery won the women's long ball competition while Bill Thomas won the men's. The longest putt went to Jack King and Mike Bly was closest to the pin.
During the steak dinner AIA Dayton President Tim Bement, AIA, spoke a few words of appreciation of those who volunteered, sponsored and golfed at the 2009 Golf Outing. Chairperson of the AIA Dayton Scholarship Committee, Karen Planet, AIA, introduced Lily Cheng and Kaley Bartosik, two of the four 2009 Scholarship recipients, and their families. Karen also announced the sales of this year's Mulligan's, a direct contribution to the Scholarship Fund, exceeded $1000 this year.
Third place went to the team of Joe Roher, Dave Taylor, Julie Sabourin and Greg Martz with a score of 59. The second place team brought in a score of 57 and consisted of Dirk Turner, Dave Novotny, Jeff Miller and George Moore. First place cash prizes and trophies went the team of Todd Martin, Jim Stradley, Jay Haffner and Bryan Gottron (pictured) with an 18 under par score of 54.
Many thanks to all golfers and event sponsors who made this event an incredible success. There were 108 golfers, 12 more than last year, who participated in this year's AIA Dayton Golf Outing at Bellbrook's Sugar Valley Country Club. The golfers also contributed an additional $1090 through the sale of Mulligans which will be matched by AIA Dayton Board and that money will be deposited directly into the AIA Dayton Architectural Scholarship Fund. During dinner two of the four students were present for a presentation of 2009 AIA Dayton Scholarship certificates. Benita Cheng, a 2009 graduate of Centerville High School, is planning to study architecture at Washington University in St. Louis with the assistance of AIA Dayton's $1,000 scholarship, and Kaley Bartosik , a 2008 graduate of Kettering Fairmont High School who continues her studies at Miami Univeristy. The other two scholarship recipients, Ryan Benson a third year student at Miami University from Piqua and Tyler Gentry, a 2009 graduate of Bellbrook High School entering his first year at the University of Cincinnati, were unable to attend. This year AIA Dayton awarded a total of $4,000 in scholarships to a group of outstanding high school seniors and college students from the Dayton Miami Valley region. The scholarships are funded through the generous donations of AIA Dayton Members, contributions from AIA Dayton, and through a matching funds grant from AIA National.
