The days are getting cooler, thank goodness, but the sun still is high in the sky until late evening. It’s the perfect season for the 15th annual Don Billman Memorial Golf Outing, planned for Thursday, Sept. 22 at Thunderbird Hills North. This Huron Chamber fundraiser is a popular event each year with lots of fun games on the greens, great prizes and a terrific dinner for all the golfers. Don Billman served as treasurer of the Chamber for nearly two decades prior to his death in 1996. Participation by Huron residents, as well as Chamber members, is invaluable to the success of this event, which is one of the Chamber’s major fundraisers. These outings enable the Chamber to carry out its mission of helping area businesses grow and prosper, even in these tough economic times. The Chamber also provides scholarships annually to graduating Huron High School seniors. The Chamber has been a vital part of the greater Huron community for more than six decades. Whoever is lucky enough to shoot a hole-in-one on Hole 5 will win a 2011 Chevrolet Cruze from Foster Chevrolet, Sandusky. This is not a lease, the winner will actually own the car, valued at approximately $20,000. Other hole prizes include a 3-night golf vacation, a Callaway Razr Hawk driver with a set of woods, and a set of Photo by Sheila Ehrhardt Past Chamber president Doug Studer, (l.) and the Rev.

This past Wednesday, representatives from the Sandusky Mall and Ohio Business College were on hand to award prizes to the winners of the 2011 Sandusky Mall School Spirit competition. The first session of the contest ran from January until June and area schools competed for $5000 in prize money, based on the number of mall receipts collected and turned in. Furry Elementary (represented by Principal Halle Leffler) won 1st place and earned $2500, Venice Heights Elementary (represented by Principal Donna Brown) was awarded $1500 for second place, and third place winner McCormick Junior High (represented by Principal Chad Carter) was given $1000. Furry Elementary will be using the prize money to fund reading programs, guest authors, and other materials, while the money that Venice Heights received will be used for incentive programs to promote attendance, reading, good behavior, and honor roll. McCormick Junior High will use the money for library books and incentive programs, as well. School Spirit is a friendly competition open to any K-12 schools whose communities are serviced by the Sandusky Mall, and schools earn 1 point for every dollar spent with retailers and restaurants within the mall complex. The second session of School Spirit is currently underway with another $5,000 up for grabs, and the contest runs until December 31, 2011. Visit the customer service booth at the Sandusky Mall for more information and listen to 102.7 FM for weekly updates on point standings. Ohio Business College, sponsor of the contest, donates $10,000 in awards each year for the event, and more information about the college can be found on the official school website at OhioBusinessCollege. edu, or by calling (419) 627-8345.
