The Bob Duckett Memorial Golf Outing was held July 21st at Merrill Hills Country Club in Waukesha. Bob Duckett, a board member emeritus of the Foundation, passed away in December of 2007. Bob was an avid golfer, and one of the most energetic supporters of the WEF.
More than 120 golfers and 30 additional dinner guests showed an incredible outpouring of support for education in the Waukesha community and Bob. We thank the event organizers, volunteers, attendees and our sponsors which are listed below.

Student volunteers, including these raffle ticket sellers, donated their time and energy to the evening.
The "Hall of Excellence" featured a wide range of school and student projects that demonstrated creativity, innovation and excellence in the Waukesha schools.
