50th POP/JOE Golf Outing Set For September 8

The 50^th POP Frohlinger/JOE Marchese Memorial Invitational Outing, a popular golf event to benefit the Elevator Escalator Safety Foundation (EESF), is planned rain or shine at the Brookville Country Club in Old Brookville, NY, on September 8. Due to overwhelming demand for the golf portion of the event, which has been sold out for the past 10 years, a double-shotgun start will be run: 7:30 a.m. for the morning session and 12:30 p.m. for the afternoon. Sponsorships for flags, tee markers and dinner are still available. Founded to honor the memory of two of the elevator industry’s most distinguished members — “POP” Frohlinger and Joe Marchese — this year’s event will recognize all past honorees. In addition to assisting EESF in educating children on the proper use of vertical-transportation equipment, the event is also a day of fellowship and fun for industry colleagues, featuring breakfast, lunch and a cocktail hour/awards dinner. EESF Executive Director Amber Catlin- Kolodziej said POP/JOE has been a strong supporter of the Foundation since the 1990s, with total contributions topping US$800,000. “We look forward to the 50^th anniversary of POP JOE this coming September and celebrating all of the past honorees!” she said.
