COL. EARL DEPNER MEMORIAL GOLF TOURNAMENT
BSA Troop 17's Colin Saber has put together a fun day of golf to generate the last funds he needs for his Eagle Scout project. He's organized a tournament at one of the premier courses in the Tri-Lakes area, and the event bears the name of his personal hero, Col. Earl Depner.
Col. Depner was a highly decorated WWII P-51 Mustang pilot and longtime member of St. Peter Catholic Church and the Knights of Columbus. He passed away in 2022 at the age of 104 and left a lasting legacy of service and dedication to our church, our community and our country. Colin's Eagle Project will pay tribute to all WWII heroes who, like Col. Depner, sacrificed so much for our freedom.
To learn more about Colin, his Eagle Scout Project and to SIGN UP for the golf tournament, visit P51 monument.com.
We are accepting DONATIONS of plastic Easter eggs and Easter candy in the PMC and church office. Thank you for your support of this activity!
