Greetings!
The LCMLetter is published twice a month and its goal is to keep Lake County Municipal League members informed on municipal issues. As issues relevant to municipal officials arise, the LCMLetter will provide you with a synopsis of the issues and provide you with a link for further details.
Beautiful Day for a Golf Outing
After the threat of rain passed, the sun came out and the LCML golf outing was full speed ahead. Special thanks to Bonnie Brook Golf Course for making the outing and dinner terrific.

We thank our sponsors as well. The major sponsors were Com Ed (Dinner Sponsor), Mesirow Financial (Gift Sponsor) and Groot Industries (Beverage Ticket Sponsor). Active Hole Sponsors were Call One, Comcast , Gewalt Hamilton, Mesirow Financial, and Rabine Group.

First place team - Groot Industries

Winner of the Scratch Off golf prize was David Pardys with a score of 70. Highest score was Brian Day at 107. Closest to the pin winners were Mimi Black and Joe Ruskusky.

New for next year's golf outing will be a Helicopter Ball drop (thanks to Clark Mosquito for their helicopter). Watch for details on how to purchase golf balls and have a chance to win $1,000.
