Mark your calendar now for the AASV Foundation’s annual Midwest Golf Outing, to be held Wednesday, August 19 at Fox Ridge Golf Club in Dike, Iowa. Golfers attending the outing can expect a warm welcome at this new location, as the club is owned by AASV member Dr. Steve Menke, who practices in Ottumwa, Iowa. Dr. Menke’s son, Michael, manages Fox Ridge and serves as its head golf professional. The 18-hole championship course is considered one of northeast Iowa’s best public golf courses, featuring the variety of fine golf grasses typically seen only on private courses.
Financial support for the outing is provided by golf hole sponsors Newport Laboratories and HarrisVaccines, and beverage cart sponsor Sirrah Bios.
Proceeds from the golf outing provide support for the AASV Foundation as it seeks to "Ensure our future…create a legacy" for swine veterinarians. Income generated by the endowment enables the Foundation to fund programs such as the swine externship grants for veterinary students, travel stipends for students attending the AASV annual meeting, and funding for research with direct application to the profession.
