CHICAGO - The Pobratymy Foundation hosted its eighth annual Plast Open at the Renwood Golf Club in Round Lake, Ill., on Saturday, September 10. The event included 44 men and women golfers for the tournament and 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 support the exchange of camp counselors between the U.S. and Ukraine, and to support the Chicago and Newark Plast chapters.

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

The following prizes were awarded:

Best men's team score - George Domino, George Lytwynyshyn, Nestor Popowych and Wasyl Wowchuk;
Best women's team score - Christine Hryhorczuk, Olya Popowych, Katrusia Saldan and Luba Skubiak;
Longest drive - Peter Cho;
Closest to the pin - Taras Proczko.

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 thanked all volunteers and the individual and corporate sponsors for their generous contributions to the event.

The ninth annual Plast Open is scheduled for September 8, 2007.
