A total of 677 balls were sold. Big thanks to: Doug Ripley and Tim McGrath (Ankeny Service Center Board) for dumping the balls and thanks to Bob Jorgensen, Shar Dunlap and Kathy Sibbel for their help. For the first time in 12 years we had a ball win that has won one other time previously. It is estimated that we will be donating $4,631.78 to Ankeny Service Center and will be sharing $1,985.05 with the Evening Club. The Ankeny Chamber of Commerce posted the Golf Ball Drop live on Facebook! Also, thanks to Ankeny Sanitation for underwriting the prizes; Des Moines Printing for donating the design and printing; Herc-U-Lift for donating the boom truck; and Coldstone Creamy and Tim's Amoco for their coupons. A special thanks to Tom Friedman for organizing the Golf Ball Drop. Great job Tom!
