**Optional Outing**
Create your very own custom glassware in Lake Superior Art Glass's Wine Goblet Class! Experience the art of glassblowing in our full-service studio. In this beginner class, you'll work in front of a live torch while you mix, match, and combine color rods to form a wine glass stem true to you. Don't like wine? No worries! Swap it out for a Martini glass or Bubbly flute at no extra cost. Once you've finished — cool off with a complimentary glass of your favorite shade! An assortment of wines will be available after the torches have been put out. Participants will make one stem each, carefully welded to a base and top by our knowledgeable glassblowing instructors and will have the opportunity to make additional glasses for $45/each.  Limit: 25 people

Click "Add" then enter your golf foursome below if you have a preference.

Note that naming your golf foursome does not mean the other golfers are registered for the tournament.  To ensure golfing with your chosen foursome, each golfer must individually register for golf.

Bankers have first priority in golf registration.  Limit two golfers per associate member company and two per sponsor company.  Foursomes will be assigned as received and confirmation will be sent prior to the tournament to all paid players.  Registrants without a foursome listed will be assigned to other foursome groups as they are received.

Golf cancellations received before Thursday, June 1, 2023, are subject to a cancellation fee of 25% of the golf tournament fee per person or you may send a substitute. All golf cancellations received on or after Thursday, June 1, 2023 will be subject to a cancellation fee of 75% of the golf tournament fee or you may send a substitute. The full golf tournament fee will be charged for withdrawing after the event or a no-show.
