I'm not a golfer, but I might head back to town for this event, as a tribute to Dan.

If you're going to have a silent auction again, I'll donate court side tickets again.

 

[SkanSU]

at least 3 for golf and dinner

 

[OrangeTown]

I'm in again. Hopefully half my team doesn't back out on me and get me stuck with CuseTroop again.

 

[OrangeTown]

Oh and one other thing.

If CuseTroop makes it into town to play, you might want to push dinner back to about 6 or 7.

 

[llandz]

Ugh. I have a wedding in Toronto on August 23. Was hoping to do both of these. Will have to wait and see how much time I can leave work behind, and what else I can do on the east coast. May have to wait to come next year. But it is something I will look at as time gets closer.
Some thoughts that my other son has crohn's. If he tests positive, and both of my sons have it, I will be at every friggin fundraiser I can for sure.

 

[RayInVa]

Put me down for golf and dinner for two.

 

[sutomcat]

We definitely will. Thanks in advance for a most generous gesture...

 

[CuseTroop]

It looks like I'm out for this year. Apparently you're only allowed to take so many days of leave a year, and I have to save everything I have for Atlantis. I will get a hold of the old man, and see if he is interested in playing again, and maybe putting a team together from PY. I will keep ya posted.

 

[Shenexon]

I'd love to participate. Please put me down for 1 for golf & dinner. I'm looking for someone to pair up with so may have another if successful.

 

[TexanMark]

I'm TBD...I should have it figured out by May.

 

[TexanMark]

I'm in again. Hopefully half my team doesn't back out on me and get me stuck with CuseTroop again.

Can I play in your foursome as long as your avatar comes (JLH) and is our beer girl.

I've got even better - Marsh01 and DCCuse!

Marsh says he'll go topless if you want.

(But actually, if you're interested and don't have a foursome, CuseTroop can't make it so we only have 3 at the moment)

That would really be a bad visual.

Tom I am tentatively in but wont know unfortunately until a day or two prior for sure unfortunately.

 

[Obie9]

My calendar is clear. I'm a definite. Will likely have a foursome together as summer approaches. Tomcat...if there is anything I can do to help, please let me know. Looking forward to participating this year.

Outstanding Obie. If there is anything you can have donated for the silent auction or prizes for the golf that would be great. Just post them here. That goes for anyone participating as well. It's all about having a great time, remembering my father and raising dollars for the cause.

I am definately putting this on our calendar. Would hate to miss it. Last year was bittersweet, with just losing Danny a few weeks before. But, it was great to be with family and friends and to be witness to the raising of funds for such a worthy cause. Danny would be so proud.

I do have a question thought...will this be benefiting Crohn's disease or Ulcerative Colitis? Thanks...Linda

Good to see you on the board Cousin Linda. All proceeds benefit the Crohn's And Colitis Foundation.

 

[CU44SE]

Hey tomcat, when do you need to know by?

 

[sutomcat]

Hey tomcat, when do you need to know by?

Not for a good long time. Sometime in late July. Right now we are just trying to gauge how many people we should expect for golf and/or dinner. If you think you will be coming, please let OrangeOnions or me know in this thread, or via a private PM (EZInBox).

 

[gocusecaz]

If someone needs a fourth, I am planning on being there.

 

[JeremyCuse]

Tom I wont know for sure until we get closer (wife surely will suprise me with some event or function) but I would like to attend at least the dinner. I haven't golfed in probably 15 years but maybe if theres a group willing to listen to my Don Rickles type humor for a few hours Ill think about it.

[tptcuse]

Put me down for one...dinner and golf. Also, I will try to think of something for the Silent Auction.
