On Par for DuPage golf outing is scheduled Tuesday, Oct. 22, at Arrowhead Golf Club in Wheaton.
People’s Resource Center and the DuPage County Historical Museum will honor the area’s past and present heroes during On Par for DuPage, an Oktoberfest-themed golf outing next month.
On Par for DuPage is set to start at 10 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 22, 2013 at Arrowhead Golf Club, 26W151 Butterfield Road. The 18-hole outing is scheduled for the height of autumn foliage and will include a continental breakfast, an Oktoberfest-themed dinner and craft beer, and an authentic German Oompah band to entertain during the dinner.
“... We’ll ultimately see neighbors helping neighbors in the community,” said Elizabeth F. Higgins, senior director of programs at People’s Resource Center. “That’s what this partnership is about.”
