Congratulations to all of the 2010 Dietrich Memorial Scholarship winners. This scholarship is funded by a golf tournament every fall at Cedar Creek. This year’s event is scheduled for Sunday, October 10. We would love to have you get a foursome together to play in and support the Dietrich Memorial Scholarships. This Memorial Scholarship was started by the family; friends and members at Cedar Creek after a tractor accident took the life of Jerry Dietrich while working at Cedar Creek. In the past two years we have been able to award over $10,000 in scholarships to deserving golf course employees from area golf courses. Congratulations to this year’s winners and thanks to all who support this event.
