The golfers at the First Annual Cicero Catholic Schools Golf Outing had a great time at Tamarack Golf Club.  We were blessed with good weather, food, and fellowship as we gathered more support for our Cicero Catholic Schools.  There were even some good golfers too!  Players from the Town of Cicero came in as the best team with a score of 10 under par.  James Hurley, friend of Mr. Martin, was the accuracy champ, winning the closest to the pin contest, and Mr. Martin himself was our big hitter as the winner of the longest drive contest.  Congratulations to all our winners and thanks to everyone who came out in support of Cicero Catholic Schools.
