New! Cocktails & Dinner at Marcello’s!

After coming off the course, golfers will make a short trip down the road to Marcello’s in downtown Northbrook for a Cocktail Reception and Dinner. The new, spacious location for the post-play festivities offers a fun setting for winding up the day, without any worries about inclement weather. Once they arrive, golfers will be treated to cocktails and appetizers, followed by a delicious dinner featuring several of Marcello’s signature dishes. Winners of the scramble tournament and skills contests will be announced along with raffle prizes. A live music performance along with a pictorial recap of the day will make for a fun conclusion to the Outing. All activities, food and drink at Marcello’s are included with golf registration. Guests are welcomed to join in on the fun by registering for the dinner.

Hole Sponsorships Drive Outing Success

One of the highlights of the Outing is the fun provided at each hole by the sponsors with Golfers looking forward to the skills contests and interacting with sponsor representatives. Hole sponsorships offer terrific hands-on marketing opportunities for Chamber members with a chance to promote a new or familiar product or service. Many sponsors and their staff enjoy being stationed at their hole, meeting and greeting all the golfers and handing out product samples or giveaways. However, sponsors are not obligated to be present at the Outing. The Chamber does the legwork, setting up the skills contest, providing signage on the hole, and awarding a $50 gift certificate as a prize for the contest. Sponsors receive valuable exposure with a listing on the Chamber website, signage at the event, and recognition in the event program. To add your name to the list of sponsors in the enclosed flyer or to discuss other sponsorship opportunities call Tami at (847)513-6003.
