EAST MEADOW- CSEA Local 830’s 2nd Annual Scholarship Classic took place Monday, July 9th at the Eisenhower Park Red Course in East Meadow. Approximately 160 golfers battled the near triple digit temperatures to get in a full round of golf, preceded by a breakfast, and followed by a dinner at the Carltun on the Park, with lunch served on the course.

Awards were given out for the best round, longest shot, and $25,000 was up for grabs for anyone who could get a hole in one. With large coolers present on every 3rd hole, and CSEA staffers providing hydration throughout the course, the golfers stayed as cool as possible and had a great time. “I heard from a number of members today that this is one of the top outings of the year,” CSEA Local 830 President Jerry Laricchiuta said.

During the dinner, CSEA honored its four $1000 scholarship winners. Winners had to be either CSEA members or children of a CSEA member who are attending a 2 or 4 year school or are high school seniors entering college. Qualifications included strong academic background, with community service.

Winners were Alyssa Reardon of Carle Place High School who will be attending Manhattanville College, Sean Jones who is a volunteer at NUMC and attends the City of New York Medical School, Jaclyn Cohen who is entering her junior year at Colgate University, and Natalie Camacho who works at NUMC and attends SUNY Binghamton University.

All the golf carts are lined up and ready to go out for the day.

CSEA congratulates all the much deserved scholarship winners for their great work in the classroom as well as their due-diligence outside the classroom. Another kudos goes out to the CSEA golf committee headed by Steve Cohen and Kelvin Lewis for their great efforts in working year round to make this event possible.
