Penn State Alumni Association to Host Annual Steak Fry Scholarship Fund-raiser
The Lake Erie Chapter of the Penn State Alumni Association will host its 2009 steak fry on Saturday, August 15, at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College. The annual event is held at the Wilson Picnic Grove at Penn State Behrend. It begins with a social hour at 5 p.m., followed by the dinner’s signature “grill your own” steak fry at 6 p.m.
The fund-raiser is open to all Penn State alumni, friends, and family. Proceeds benefit the Lake Erie Chapter’s Robert W. Sparks scholarship fund, which has awarded more than $70,000 to local students in the past 18 years.
 The guest speaker for the evening will be Tina Hay, Editor of The Penn Stater.
Along with the 10-ounce strip steak, dinner includes traditional picnic faretossed salad, corn on the cob, baked potato, dinner rolls and beverages, plus strawberry shortcake for dessert.
The evening will also include the third annual silent auction, featuring a variety of Penn State memorabilia and other items. The steak fry will conclude with a raffle for several one-of-a-kind door prizes and a 50/50 drawing.
Tickets for the annual steak fry fund-raiser are $20 per person. For more information or to RSVP, contact Phil Mobilia, president of the Lake Erie Chapter of the Penn State Alumni Association, at 814-725-1999 (home) or 716-483-7219 (office), or via e-mail at Phil.Mobilia@psualum.com.
