5th Annual Cop Classic Recap
 Well the rain held off and the 5th Annual Cop Classic was once again a success. The sky was overcast most of the day and the “Tent City” was once again constructed on hole 17. Anne, Anna and Sharon worked the golfers hard but once again need a little shelter from the cool breeze. 30 teams took to the links at Blank Golf Course and at the end of the day the team of Daniel Blom, Josh Rhamy, Matt Schnell and Mark Mohr shot a 57 to be crowned the champions for 2008.
 Our fearless leader, Dave Murillo, supervised Bobby King, doing the cooking again this year and Nancy Beghtel and Peggy Schleuger delivering the dogs and taking lots of pictures. The day concluded with a great dinner followed by a good number of the golfers sticking around the club house, telling lies and enjoying a refreshment or two.
 The evening prior to the event at the Des Moines Police Officers Credit Union, we were able to present this year’s winners, Paul Harkin, Sonja Ouimet, Trista Woody and Jessica Penland each a $1,000.00 scholarship. This is the part of the event that makes it special. The ability to get a significant number of officers and friends together for a enjoyable day of golf and also help the children of these officers get there collage career started.
 Once again I would like to thank Dennis O’Donnell and Linda Powers for all the work they do behind the scene to secure sponsors. The Des Moines Police Credit Union for their co-sponsorship of the entire event and Chief Bradshaw for providing the help needed to make the day run smoothly from beginning to end.
We have enjoyed another successful event and look forward to Cop Classic #6.
