The eighteenth annual Dr. Maus Dawson-Boyd Community Scholarship golf tournament was held on Saturday, September 21 at the Dawson Golf Course. The event was postponed a week due to the weather. The mixed-person-best-ball tournament provides a number of opportunities to win prizes at each hole. The top team of the day was Mike & Spencer Erickson and Roy Heinz. The team received $100 in Chamber Bucks. In addition each of the 9 hole winners received a prize worth $50. Another team won $200 in Chamber Bucks just for participating in the tourney!
The money, raised from registration fees, hole sponsorships and donations goes towards the Dr. Maus Dawson-Boyd Community Scholarship Fund. This scholarship is awarded annually to Dawson-Boyd graduates and alumni pursuing careers in healthcare. This year $1,000.00 scholarships were awarded to both Kaya Borg and Kayla Strand.
On Saturday, September 14 the JM Foundation held an 85th Birthday Celebration in Dr. Maus’s honor. The event was moved from the Golf Course to the Activities Room in the Care Center due to rain. Dr. Maus was greeted by old friends and colleges as well as community members.
