‘Once A Cowboy Always A Cowboy’ golf outing benefit set for Aug. 26

YOUNGSTOWN

After retiring, Joe Midlick brainstormed the idea of establishing a golf outing that would benefit any Chaney High School alumni or families times of need. Midlick, a 1970 graduate, brought along fellow graduates Tom Sullivan, Patty Rogan Moran and Cathy Buehler Zimmerman.

A suggestion was made that a board of trustees be formed with the name Once a Cowboy Always a Cowboy and include not only the Class of ’70, but other classes as well. It didn’t take long before other CHS alumni rose to the occasion. Those on the first OACAAC board now include: Joe Fanto, ’89; Joe Malys, ’71; Jim Mullally, ’74; Valerie Duncan Holcomb, ’75; Paul Hornung, ’98; and Tod Thorne, ’88.

The board plans to establish a yearly golf outing. They welcome Chaney alumni to join them in the effort. The OACAAC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

The first OACAAC golf outing will take place Aug. 26 at Pine Lakes Golf Course in Hubbard.

Sponsors are being sought for this event. Foursomes cost $75 per person or $300 per team, which includes 18 holes with cart, prizes, lunch, a steak dinner and beverages. The committee also is in need of donations of baskets, gift certificates and prizes for which tickets also will be sold, along with other prize opportunities, such as a 50/50 drawing.
