Staten Island Advance - April 28, 2005
The College of Staten Island (CSI) Foundation will
host its fifth annual "CSI Alumni and Friends Golf Outing" on May 6,
at the South Shore Country Club in Huguenot.
The ticket price of the golf outing is $175 and includes green fees
for 18 holes of golf, use of a cart, beverages on the course,
breakfast and a deluxe barbecue lunch. Former New York Jet running
back, Freeman McNeil, will attend the barbecue. His former teammate,
Marty Lyons, will also attend and play as part of a foursome.
Breakfast and registration will begin at 7 a.m. with a shotgun
tee-off at 8 a.m.
All proceeds will benefit the CSI athletics department, scholarships
and undergraduate research opportunities that will help prepare CSI
students for continued success after graduation.

is chairing the event. Involved with the CSI Foundation for four
years, Mr. Mazza was also last year's golf outing chair.
The event will feature giveaways, awards and prizes, a silent

Mantle obtained from a family estate auction accompanied by a signed

York Yankee's pinstripe jersey signed by nine Yankee stars,
including Joe Torre, Derek Jeter and Gary Sheffield, in addition to
other items from numerous celebrities.
The grand raffle prize is a two-night, three-day trip to the Howard
