The Eric Mortenson Scholarship Fund Committee will play its Fall Golf Tournament at Montclair Golf Club on on Tuesday, October 10. This is the primary fundraiser for the annual Eric Mortenson Memorial Scholarship, which is presented each year at Verona High School. This spring, $5,000 was awarded to five high school seniors. Some proceeds may also be used for other Verona sports programs.
Tournament registration is open to Verona residents and people who work full time in Verona or graduated from VHS, and they can bring up to three guests without the residency requirement. There are limited spots available for this tournament at a fee of $175 per golfer, which includes golf, cart, dinner, beverages and gratuities.
The golf tournament will begin with a shotgun start at 12:30 p.m. Prizes will be awarded at dinner at the Verona Community Center Ballroom immediately following play. There will be good food, prizes, and more.
The Tournament registration form is here. Please complete it and return it to the Verona Community Center with your payment.
