"Who’s Who” Golf Classic Winners

                                                   Infinity - 1st Morning Flight                 JV Industrial-1st Afternoon Flight

The 17^th annual Junior Achievement Who’s Who Golf Classic sponsored by Texas Gulf Bank was held at the Wilderness in June.  This year’s tournament co-chaired by Jim Heath of Gulf States, Inc. and Tom Rich of ConocoPhillips was the most successful tournament in JA history bringing in over $56,000.  Proceeds of the event will go along way in providing organizational support for the more than 9,000 area students participating in Junior Achievement programs annually.  The original goal of Junior Achievement is to help students to understand business and appreciate free enterprise, while promoting entrepreneurship, economic self-determination and workplace skills to play an active role in our increasingly global economy. The programs are designed to “fit into” the existing school curricula and add to its learning experience. Young people will receive the skills they need to succeed in a business environment once they enter the workforce and personal financial skills necessary to become a self-supporting adult.
