Re-connect with your Husker friends – and meet new ones – at our annual membership meeting. (An important requirement of our non-profit status is to conduct an annual membership meeting.) Here are some of the great things happening at this meeting:

Network with other members – see old friends and make new friends
Learn more about our volunteer opportunities and sign up if interested.
Meet your Board of Directors
Renew your membership – for $5 pre-season savings!
Learn what is happening this year
Purchase Husker merchandise, many at great sale prices!

This year we’ve reserved Super Saver Cinemas 8 for our membership meeting on July 21st, a Saturday, starting at 2:00 pm. (Last year our new watch-site was a great venue for watching games, but not as well-suited for having a meeting with audio-visual features.)

Jon Mitchell will share a video of highlights about this year’s recruits! Then, we will show the movie Through These Gates (2013). It is a wonderful documentary on Husker Fans.

Calling Husker golfers to play in the Big Ten Golf Classic on Saturday, May 12th

Calling All Huskers Golfers!!
Huskers N Arizona is looking to recruit as many Husker golfers as possible to play in the Big Ten Golf Classic on Saturday, May 12th 2018 at Troon North Golf Club. The Big Ten Golf Classic promises to be a fun day of golf and Big Ten camaraderie for all who participate while benefiting the Make-A-Wish® Arizona and Big Ten Scholarship funds.

The BIG 10 GOLF CLASSIC SCHOLARSHIP will be awarded to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place schools which totals $3,000. The remaining tournament proceeds will be awarded to Make-A-Wish® Arizona which makes dreams come true for children with life-threatening medical conditions. In 2016, the Big Ten Golf Classic raised over $10,000 for scholarship and charities.

In 2011, Nebraska’s first year in the Big Ten, Nebraska had 30 players participate in the Big Ten Golf Classic and we came in first place. Since then, Nebraska’s participation has slowly declined, with only 14 golfers playing in the 2016 tournament and we have come in 2nd and 3rd over the last few years, due to lack of Husker participation. Ohio State has won the tournament for the last 3 years largely due to their participation averaging around 35 players every year. We think it is time for the Huskers to dethrone the Buckeyes!

The scoring is based on how many players are supporting a specific University, so the more players we have to represent Nebraska, the more chance we have to win the $1500 scholarship for the University of Nebraska. Please remember that The Big Ten Golf Classic is a non-profit golf tournament, with all the proceeds going to Make-A-Wish Arizona.

So Husker Fans, please sign up online at http://www.bigtengolfclassic.com to support this great event and bring the Big Ten Golf Classic trophy back to the Nebraska Cornhuskers!

GBR!
