2009 WFA Annual Meeting and Energy Conference

 

The 2009 Annual Meeting and Energy Conference opened with the Western Fuels Open Golf Tournament on July 29, 2009.  Held at the Omni Interlocken Resort for the first time, golfers enjoyed a great course though the weather presented some challenges..  Prizes awarded to the top 3 teams, several individual performance awards, along with a subsequent raffle ensured that virtually all of the participants received a prize.  WFA wishes to thank this year’s group of sponsors, whose generous contributions provided everything from the drink cart and lunch to cash donations and various prizes and golf equipment for the raffle.  WFA would like to recognize each of them here:

• Peabody Energy
• Sherard, Sherard, and Johnson
• PowerMotive
• U.S. Bankcorp
• ConocoPhillips
• Dyno Nobel
