21st Annual Epsilon Gamma Golf Outing
July 24, 2010

By Jon Eadie `93 and Mike Wharton `93, golf outing co-chairmen

Thank you to everyone who helped make this another outstanding Epsilon Gamma Alumni Golf Outing. The weather looked dicey all morning, but right as we teed off the skies cleared and we had a rain free afternoon.

Congratulations to Matthew Baad and his partner Jeff Dhaenens, who won the A Flight with a -2 score of 68, and the Featherstones, Bill and Danny, who won the B Flight with an 84.
Bill Qualls won the closest to the pin and Michael Wharton won the longest drive on the front nine while Scott Nadeau won the closest to the pin and Steve Desmet won the longest drive on the back nine.

Greg Compton won the Texas hold'em tournament in an exciting finish over John Hill, who finished second, and Marc Rosa, who finished in third place. John Hill also won the CMU at Northwestern  football prize package of two nights hotel and tickets to the game.

It was a great day to be an Epsilon Gamma Beta and great day to be an EG founder with Brother Baad's success on the course, Brother Compton's at the poker table and the appearance of Tom Bussineau (the 25th Anniversary is going to be great - register now) and the first true EG legacy Tyler.

Those of us who organized the outing would like to especially thank those of you who made it happen including David Steiner, Sr. who donated the Chicago package, Ken Breen, Chad Saha and Tom
Olver for their generous donations of prizes, Tim McGovern for organizing the skins game and creating the scoreboard, Steven Desmet for organizing and running the poker tournament and Scott Nadeau for communications and doing everything he can to keep this organization running smoothly.

We would also like to thank Jeff Dhaenens, Matt Baad's playing partner, who won the 50/50 raffle and donated a large chunk of his winnings back to Epsilon Gamma. He only asked that because of his association with the Boy Scots of America, in remembrance of his donation, the next time you have the opportunity  to help a scout by buying pop corn or participating in their fundraiser you do so.

Finally would like to thank the 38 other brothers, family members and friends who joined us at Hilltop Golf Course. We had a great time organizing and  participating the outing once again and look forward to next year.

If you have any questions or suggestions for next year or would like to volunteer to help plan the event, contact us at golfouting@epsilongamma.org.

23rd Annual Robert A. Seeber/Lenny Varner International Pig Roast

April 17, 2010
Island Park - Mt. Pleasant, Michigan

More than 120 undergrads, parents, alums and friends of Beta gathered on April 17th for the 23rd annual Seeber/Varner Pig Roast.

This had to be one of the coldest Pig Roasts ever. But, the horrible weather didn't damper the spirits of those in attendance.

In addition to the main dish of pork this year prepared by Doug Varner, we also got to dine on delicious slow roasted turkey and venison that was stuffed inside the turkey. The quality and amount of food brought by the EG family was outstanding. In addition, a few of us were able to sample a few home-made "beverages" provided by Bob Seeber Sr.

Following dinner, the chapter continued the traditions of the roll call, announcing the founders' awards and revealing this year's Beta Sweetheart and Beta Rose.

As always, thanks go out to both Bob Senior and Bob Junior...not only for sponsoring the event, but for putting so much heart and soul into it. My thanks also go out to Kris Stenglien for doing a good job of coordinating the efforts in Mt. Pleasant.

We'll see you next year for the 24th Annual Robert A. Seeber/Lenny Varner International Pig Roast!
