Brownville Historical Society’s (BHS) Golf Committee is planning for its 22nd Annual Golf Classic. Now and in the future this tournament will be honoring Bob Chitwood. He was the driving force for the creation and successes of this BHS annual event for its first 19 years. The tournament will take place at the Auburn Country Club, again this year, on Saturday the 24th August, 2024. Be on the lookout for your “Hold the Date Card”, Registration and Sponsorship forms and other information coming soon. You can also pick up registration forms at the Auburn Country Club.
We will be adding this year’s proceeds to the current funds set aside for the interior restoration of the Spurgin Dental Museum.
Please join us in helping to raise funds for this worthwhile effort as we continue the work Bob started. We will continue to make this the best tournament ever to honor “Bob Chitwood” for all that he did and was for BHS and the Community!
For additional information contact: Sharon Hessler (402) 203-4460 or Elaine Knapp (402) 274-7503
