Highlights of the 9th Annual CBHCare Foundation 2008 Golf Outing

"A perfect day for golf," was the way Co-Chair Helen Kuruc described the CBHCare Foundation's Ninth Annual Golf Outing held on September 22, 2008, at Wild Turkey Golf Club in Hardyston, NJ. Ms. Kuruc, who is President of the Foundation and a Professor of Mathematics at Essex County College in Newark, stated, "The weather was absolutely perfect, everyone enjoyed themselves, the food was great and we sold lots of raffle tickets! We are most grateful to the many friends who supported us; the Foundation raised over $27,000 this year to support the programs and services of CBHCare. We particularly want to thank our tournament sponsors Anthony & Eileen Becker and Durante & Son Mason & Asphalt Contractors."

Co-Chair Gabe Ambrosio, Lyndhurst attorney who the CBHCare Foundation Vice President and former State Senator, said, "We especially appreciated the good turnout of golfers. We all had a great time."

After a barbecue luncheon sponsored by Janet Czermak, a modified shotgun start took place at 1:00 p.m. with golfers motoring throughout the course in golf carts sponsored by the Bogle Insurance Agency. The practice greens were provided by Clarion Office Supplies, the Damiano family, and Inserra Supermarkets; and the practice range was sponsored by Arlington Plumbing & Heating, Bergen's Promise, and Built Rite.

After an afternoon of golf, everyone returned to the clubhouse where they enjoyed a gourmet dinner. Then came the presentation of the golfing awards plus the raffle and door prizes. All golfers were eligible to win a variety of contests and prizes. The prizes offered by sponsors of the Hole-in-One contest included:

• A 2008 Chrysler 300C by Chrysler Motors
