Hardy PTO Golf Outing Success!

Hello Hardy!!

The 5th Annual Hardy PTO Golf Outing is in the books! 

While the golfers got a little rained on (ok a LOT), the dinner-only guests had to arrive early, and the power actually went out, the group still managed to have a great time while raising funds for our kids!  

Please help us to thank all of these amazing sponsors and donors one more time.  You'll notice that the Hardy front yard is covered in sponsor signs and the full donor list is near the front office.  Please take a look.  The community really jumps in to support this outing every year.  We're so appreciative of their involvement. 

If you have any golf outing pictures to share, please send them in! ptohardy@gmail.com

The outing is only one day per year yet the golf outing committee starts work in October to prepare an outstanding May event for the participants.  It takes literally hundreds of hours to make this event possible.  Special thanks to the committee: Tracey Katcherian, Cheryl Chanko, Suzy Bahu, Kate Ginman,  Sherri Shisler, and Holly Tilton for all of their efforts.  Thanks also to Mandy Venning, Kim McCurdy, Laura Carino,Trish Gusick, Bridget Iovan, Natalie Diffin, Stephanie Junkulis-Pierce, Mrs. Rose, and Ms. Brown for lending a hand in various ways.  

Enjoy your Memorial Day Weekend.
