Dear Friends of The First Tee of Pittsburgh:
The Constellation Senior Players Championship is returning to Fox Chapel Golf Club June 24th thru June 30th, 2013. The First Tee of Pittsburgh will be marshaling the tenth hole this year and we will need at least 30 volunteers, partners and friends to be inside the ropes with the top senior players in this Champions Tour major tournament. We are a primary beneficiary of their charitable donation and we are excited to have them back in Pittsburgh and want to support this major golf event.
Volunteers are asked to register and purchase their own uniforms for $65 and you will receive admission all week, an extra weekly pass and lunch on the days you work.
If you are interested in volunteering for the event, and helping to support The First Tee of Pittsburgh, you can volunteer online at www.volunteers.cspgolf.com. Please remember to designate The First Tee of Pittsburgh as the club affiliation in the field provided on the application.
In order to assess staffing needs and facilitate scheduling, we ask that you please complete the registration process by April 1st. (Please also think to invite your spouse, neighbors, golfing buddies, and friends to join you. It it great fun to be inside the ropes, you'll get additional access and passes and well as a great volunteer party. . . and your support really helps The First Tee of Pittsburgh provide our programs to children throughout our region.)
For more information please contact our First Tee co-captains - Jeff Schlegel (412) 600-1075,schlegel@fnb-corp.com or Bruce Stephen (412) 979-3205, bmichaelstephen@gmail.com
The mission of TFTP is To impact the lives of young people by providing educational programs that build character, instill life-enhancing values and promote healthy choices through the game of golf.

Many citizens gave great effort to save Schenley's building as an educational asset for city students. This was a noble fight. The public district used all its might and loads of misinformation to insure its eventual liquidation.
Now, I fear, it is safe to say that the only things left to do is watch, wait, wag fingers and say, "We told you so."
The deed to the building is almost gone from the clutches of its public trustees.
Fingers wag at Mark Roosevelt, Patrick Dowd (former PPS board member who greased the pathway to closing the school) and all other politicians who did nothing, little or mowed down the grass-roots opposition.
Eventually the building will be filled with student housing.
Perhaps there will be a tweet or media story about the first resident to the Schenley Dorm who also uses some Pittsburgh Promise funds to pay for college. Perhaps the ownership of the building will flip from PMC. Perhaps historic tax credits will come too -- or a TIF like "development deal" tied to another project bundled with this rehab. Perhaps the union workers will get an elevator job and taxpayers get the shaft.
Let's live to fight another day.
Sold!
Wag on the ready.
