CHICAGO - The Pobratymy Founda-tion hosted its fifth annual Plast Open at the Renwood Golf Club in Round Lake, Ill., on Saturday, September 6. Sixty-Six men and women golfers competed in the tournament, and over 120 participants attended 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 the Plast Conference Fund in support of Plast's development in Ukraine, and to the Ukrainian National Museum in Chicago to fund a Plast history display.

Using a scramble format, participants of the 2003 tourney enjoyed 18 holes of golf on a beautiful fall day. Afterwards they 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 - Stefko Dykun, Mykola Hryhorczuk, Danylo Proczko, Pavlo Proczko;
best women's team score - Bohdanna Domino, Christine Hryhorczuk, Roksolana Tymiak-Lonchyna, Ina Lonchyna;
longest drive (male) - Marion Abramiuk;
longest drive (female) - Roksolana Tymiak-Lonchyna; and
closest to the pin - Vasyl Wowczuk.

The Pobratymy Foundation, a 501(c) (3) tax-exempt corporation, was established in 1992 by members of the Pobratymy Plast 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 expressed thanks to all volunteers and the individual and corporate sponsors for their generous contributions to the event.

The sixth annual Plast Open is scheduled for September 11, 2004, at the Renwood Golf Club. For more information readers may contact Oleh Skubiak at (630) 574-1961 or Skubiak@DeVry.com.
