It’s hard to believe almost a year has passed since the 2019 Alumni Weekend/Golf Tournament. The golf outing was one of the best I can remember, with over 80 alumni gathered to play golf, share stories and enjoy the fellowship of brotherhood spanning six decades of EI Pikes. I look forward to this year’s event, and want to share with you some information regarding it.

Although many alumni come down the Friday before the golf tournament, this year’s Alumni Weekend will officially begin on Saturday, April 25 with our golf tournament. Once again, the tournament will be held at Dalhousie Golf Club, located at 4700 Cord’s Way, Cape Girardeau, MO 63701. For more information about the golf course, please visit Dalhousie’s website at http://www.dalhousiegolfclub.com/.

The format for the tournament is 4-man scramble, with a shotgun start at 12:30. Lunch will be provided at the pavilion at 11:30. A variety of beverages will be provided as well – thank you to Brother Mike Kohlfeld and the Brothers Patterson! The tournament field is limited to 80 golfers (20 teams), so please don’t delay in signing up.

You may register yourself or your team for the tournament by visiting event caddy at https://app.eventcaddy.com/even…/2020-pike-alumni-tournament. Once in the site, payment instructions are provided. Or, if you prefer you may send your payment to Mark Zieres, at 1719 Potomac Pl, Cape Girardeau, MO 63701. Mark and Robbie Guard are chairing the golf tournament again this year. Feel free to reach out to either of them or me via email with any questions you may have. Robbie Guard RGuard@mrvbanks.com; Mark Zieres mark.zieres@drurysouthwest.com; David Jones davidjones@montgomerybank.com.
If golf is not your thing, please join us at Dogwood Social House following the golf tournament around 6:30. If you have never been there, you will be amazed. Dogwood is located at 80 South Plaza Way, Cape Girardeau, MO 63703.

I look forward to seeing you on April 24 and 25.
