Women's Golf Classic Scheduled
June 3, 2008

Monday, June 23, marks the 13th annual "Royal Blue Classic" women's golf outing to benefit the IHM Sisters in ministries locally and around the world.

The event will be held at Fox Hills Golf and Banquet Center in Plymouth. Along with nine- and 18-hole golf packages, the day provides something for everyone, including a reception/dinner option for non-golfers. All golf packages are shotgun scrambles. The 18-hole morning round will be held at the Golden Fox course. There is also a nine-hole afternoon package at the Fox Classic.

Golf packages include games and drinks on the courses, gifts, lunch, dinner and a chance to compete for prizes. The reception/dinner offers a silent auction, as well as the opportunity to reconnect with IHMs and friends.

Golf packages are $200 per person for 18 holes on the Golden Fox Course; $125 per person for nine holes on the Fox Classic Course; and $60 per person for the reception-dinner. For more information or to make your reservation, contact the IHM Development Office at 734-240-9860 or develop@ihmsisters.org.

The IHM Royal Blue Classic was named for the color of the original habits worn by the IHM Sisters. IHMs are located in Monroe, in the Detroit area, across Michigan and throughout the United States, as well as in Mexico, Puerto Rico, Haiti and South Africa. They work in the fields of education, human services, pastoral care, spiritual direction, sustainability and justice.
