CHICAGO - The Pobratymy Foundation hosted its fourth annual Plast Open at the Renwood Golf Club in Round Lake, Ill., on Saturday, September 7. The event included 62 men and women golfers for the tournament, and over 100 participants at the post-tourney festivities.

As in previous years, the proceeds from this very successful and enjoyable event will be dedicated to support the ongoing activities of Plast Ukrainian Scouting Organization. Proceeds from last year's event were donated to the Plast Conference Fund (an initiative of the chief scout, or "nachalnyi plastun") in support of Plast's developmental activities in Ukraine.

Using a scramble format, participants enjoyed 18 holes of golf on a beautiful fall day and afterward joined family and friends at Self-Reliance Resort down the street for awards, camaraderie, music, steaks and refreshments.

The following prizes were awarded:

Best men's team score - Curtis Babczenko and Taras Popowycz;
Best women's team score - Bohdanna Domino, Christine Hryhorczuk, Roksolana Tymiak-Lonchyna and Luba Skubiak;
Longest drive - Roman Marushka;
Closest to the pin - Stephen Dykun.

The Pobratymy Foundation, a 501(c) (3) tax-exempt corporation, was established in 1992 by members of the Plast Pobratymy fraternity for the purpose of supporting the developmental activities of Plast. The Pobratymy Foundation is limited to making contributions to Plast and other 501 (c) (3) organizations that support the stated purposes of the fraternity: to renew and strengthen Plast; to encourage excellence and self-improvement; to encourage identification and cooperation among Ukrainian youth; and to inform others about Ukraine.

Plast Chicago and the Pobratymy Foundation expressed thanks to all volunteers and the individual and corporate sponsors for their generous contributions to the event.

The fifth annual Plast Open is scheduled for September 6, 2003, at the Renwood Golf Club. Readers may visit the Plast Golf Outing website at http://us.geocities.com/plastchicagoopengolf2002 /index.html). For more information please call Oleh Skubiak, (630) 574-1961, or e-mail [email protected].
