Calvert Hospice received a generous donation of $7,000 from the 16th annual Michael D. Schrodel Golf Classic held on July 19. The golf tournament was started 18 years ago by one of Michael’s fraternity brothers, Eric Dorman, and Michael’s widow Teresa Schrodel. The pair organized the event until 2018 when Teresa and Michael’s daughter Carmen took the reins. It was a successful event, with 22 teams, a putting contest, a hole in one contest, a silent auction items from local businesses, a double-your-money hole contest, and corn hole contests.
