This year was a huge success. We had 480 golfers and over 600 people attending the event. We would like to thank all of you who came and enjoyed our annual Snowball Open event. All the money raised will go back to the community in many forms to benefit the needy.
Special thanks to all the sponsors who had donated prizes, gift certificates, and the sponsors who worked a hole. Without you the attendee’s would not of had so much fun. Thanks.
A big thanks to the city of Long Lake and Orono Public Works who helped out with the Christmas trees and snow plowing. Also, the Cub Scouts Pack 206 did a great job helping as the clean up crew. We would like to personally thank all who had volunteered their time to set up and break down the tents, holes, and all the equipment.
Hopefully we are all still here for the next Snowball Open on Saturday, Jan. 28 2012 (10AM to 4PM).
We look forward to seeing you next year.
Bradley Hansen,
VP Orono Lions
The annual Snow Ball opening is happening again! It’s going to be exciting and lots of fun  so bring your family, friends (or frenemies), and neighbors to support a great cause!
The 24rd Annual Snowball Open is the major fund raiser for the Orono Lions. A fantastic 18 hole gold course is carved on the ice of Long Lake. Each hole has a local sponsor and thanks to our snowball open sponsors we can keep doing our duties! There are hospitality tents stationed at each hole. This event draws over 600 players and spectators!
The Snowball Open is at Nelson Park, 1860 Symes Street, Long Lake, MN 55356. MAP
On January 29th, 2011 you can get your chance to win prizes, eat great food, and meet new friends! We start at 10 AM pronto! The last tee time is 1:45 PM.
The Snowball Open is the primary fund raiser for the Orono Lions. The proceeds from the event fund various programs in the Orono, Long Lake, and surrounding communities. The projects include supporting the RED Lion reading program at Shuman Elementary School, assisting senior citizens in our community local food shelves and more.
Register yourself, a spouse, family, and friends
It’s just $20 per person and the proceeds go to a great cause!
ATTENTION!
While the temperature outside is rising, and according to the American Red Cross, the blood supply often drops due to do donors being on vacation or busy with summer activities.
“No matter what your schedule has in store, set aside an hour to donate blood through the Red Cross and be a lifesaver to patients in need.”
Holiday weekends, like the Fourth of July, can prove extra challenging for blood collection making this a great time to donate and help maintain the blood supply while adding a little variety to your summer routine. To help ensure a stable blood supply through the season, make an appointment to donate blood.
About the American Red Cross
Governed by volunteers and supported by giving individuals and communities, the American Red Cross is the single largest supplier of blood products to hospitals throughout the United States. While local hospital needs are always met first, the Red Cross also helps ensure no patient goes without blood no matter where or when they need it. In addition to providing nearly half of the nation’s blood supply, the Red Cross provides relief to victims of disaster, trains millions in lifesaving skills, serves as a communication link between U.S. military members and their families, and assists victims of international disasters or conflicts.
