Doug Sheppard Classic scheduled for June 15

Members of the campus community will take to the greens on Monday, June 15, for the Doug Sheppard Classic Annual Scholarship Golf Tournament.

The event will take place at the Wiltwyck Golf Club in Kingston beginning at 8 a.m. with breakfast and registration. The shotgun start of the four-person scramble format takes place at 9 a.m.

The tournament is named in memory of the longtime professor, administrator and coach, Doug Sheppard, who died in 2008. Shep, as he was known to many, was not only the golf coach for 32 years, but a golfer who was a fixture at local golf courses and tournaments in the area. Proceeds from the event will go toward a scholarship endowment for SUNY New Paltz students.

All players are eligible for awards, contests and prizes that will be presented at a banquet dinner at 3 p.m. in the Wiltwyck Golf Club ballroom. The banquet is open to non-golfers as well for $50.

Those interested in becoming sponsors can visit www.newpaltz.edu/golf or call x3295.

Raffle tickets for a New Paltz Faculty Wives and Women hand-crafted quilt are on sale at the SUNY New Paltz Foundation office, located in the Haggerty Administration Building room 501.

The quilt, titled “Dorm Windows,” features images of the ridge, Sojourner Truth, the Gunk, Jacobson Faculty Tower, Haggerty Administration Building and the Old Main Building. It is in a heritage quilt style – picture blocks are framed as one might see through a dorm window. In addition, the picture blocks are surrounded by an antique quilt block named “soaring hawks.”

The quilt may be viewed during office hours: Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Raffle tickets are $10 each or three for $20. The winning raffle will be drawn Feb. 16 and the winner will be contacted directly. Dorm Windows was hand- and machine-pieced and hand-quilted by Dolly Wodin, Norma Strothenke, Joyce Schiff, Sondra Harkavy, Cindy Dates and Marie Guard. Raffle sales will support the Fund for New Paltz.
