On behalf of the Tri-State Italian-American Congress and our hard working Tri-State Italian-American Congress 2019 Golf Committee, we would like to personally thank you for your participation in the Golf Outing held on Tuesday, September 17, 2019.
This year’s event was a great success, thanks to a large part by you. Your participation was part of a growing number of supporters and sponsors that made this year’s event a great success. Mother Nature gave us a perfect day! We had a great weather day for golf at Engineers and Glen Head Country Clubs.
We are thankful to all of our sponsors for their support. Particularly our event sponsors – Inserra Shop-Rite Supermarkets, Signature Bank, Ozone Refrigeration, Associated Food Stores, Key Food Group, Westside Foods, El Sol, DME Electrical, Krasdale, UNFI, Alfa Romeo of Westbury, Enzo’s of Arthur Ave, Boar’s Head, Arthur P. Kaplan Agency and Uncle Giuseppe’s.

New this year, the highlight of the evening, this year, was the raffle at the event an Alfa Romeo Giulia car. All players were automatically entered to win the car with a free entry at check in.
The faithful support of our members, friends and corporate supporters, with over 200 present at this year’s golf outing and reception dinner enables the Tri-State Italian-American Congress to continue to award scholarships to deserving students of Italian-American heritage in Catholic elementary and secondary schools in the Archdiocese of New York, the Diocese of Brooklyn and Queens, the Archdiocese of Newark and the Diocese of Rockville Centre.

Once again it is being held at two top clubs in the Tri-State area, Engineers Country Club and Glen Head Country Club, onTuesday, September 17, 2019. The clubs are 2 ½ miles apart and have 18 holes each, and both have hosted major PGA Championships throughout the years. This event not only benefits our Tri-State scholarship fund that aids Italian-American students in furthering their educations, but also offers exposure for the organization and an opportunity to make new friends. With a total of 36 holes, we have availability to book additional golfers and tee signs, as well in order to maximize our fund raising efforts.
