The date for the Team Magellan Golf Outing to benefit the Naval Special Warfare Foundation is Thursday June 26, 2008 at Willow Glen Golf Course at Naval Station Great Lakes.  The shotgun start will be at 10:30 a.m. and lunch and refreshments will be served in the clubhouse following our round. This event will be limited to 25 foursomes and each foursome will include an active duty, reserve or retired Navy SEAL.

The price will be $150 per golfer or $500 per foursome. Things I need from you:

1. Contacts. The event will not be limited to our group. Please send me name/address/email address for anyone you would like to invite. A printed invitation with the names of all Team Magellan members included is under construction and we will also send out a “save the date” email in advance. 

2. Sponsors. We would welcome title/presenting sponsors, hole and prize sponsors and donations for welcome bags/goody bags.

3. Volunteers. If anyone is interested in assisting with organizing or executing this project, please contact me.

Hooyah!

Here’s an editorial from today’s Chicago Tribune on how to honor a veteran:

I have been told that 90% of Americans do not know someone serving in the armed forces. You are not among them. Racing with you on Team Magellan at IMC will be Master Chief Paul Tharp of the United States Navy Seals.

At our social gathering tomorrow, I will tell you more about Paul and what he’s doing here in the frozen midwest, and about the unofficial charity of Team Magellan — The Naval Special Warfare Foundation.

A small group of us did the first Team Magellan IMC Wdnesday morning ride today at VQ’s Chicago facility.  Quality facility, quality ride. I encourage you join the enhanced program.

Thanks to Magellan for the awesome racing singlet. I would also be interested in a cycling jersey with the same design for training. Is anyone interested else interested? If we get enough to make an minimum order, we can probably get some, on our dime, of course.

Post if you are interested.
