VIKING CLUB GOLF TOURNAMENT

A sunny, beautiful day at Skyline Woods Country Club in Elkhorn, Neb., greeted the 108 participants in the Viking Club’s first benefit golf tournament. The event raised more than $25,000 for Dana’s athletic department. The funds will be used to cover the cost of the event, buy new equipment and uniforms and complete some needed repairs.

At the end of the day, the winning team was WBE Weikhorst Brothers, an excavating firm from Valley, Neb. The team was, from left, Mark Mauer, president of Enterprise Banks in Omaha, Scott Redding, vice president of Enterprise Banks, Scott Weikhorst, owner and president of Weikhorst and Brian Weikhorst, vice president of Weikhorst. At an auction following the tournament, several prize packages went to participants, including a weekend in Kansas City with tickets to the Chiefs-Steelers game and a trip to New York for the U.S. Golf Open.

The tournament went great, but planners would like to see more alumni at the 2004 edition, Friday, June 25, at Tiburon in Omaha. To sign up for next year, call the Athletic Department at (402) 426-7290.
