This fun-filled event will be held on Sunday, July 17th at Willingers Golf Club (between Northfield and New Prague, MN).  Golf will commence at 1:00, and non-golfers are encouraged to join the golfers at approximately 5:30 for a social gathering and tribute. In honor of Chris's commitment to Gloria Dei Lutheran Church, an opportunity to contribute to the "Cheer Fund" (a discretionary fund used by the pastors at Gloria Dei in meeting emergency needs) will be available.

Green fees (including cart) are at an exceptionally low rate of $38 per person (payable to the course on the 17th).

Please join us for the Inaugural "Yellow Ball" Memorial Golf and Social Event!
