Back to reality,
Golf Committee Co-chair, George Schoen spoke briefly about Monday’s tournament. We had 80 players, three corporate sponsors in addition to several major sponsors. The auction and raffle was a great success. The bottom line is it appears we exceeded last year’s proceeds, close to $19,000.
Sergeant-at-Arms report, Jack Martin had a long list of folks contributing for a successful golf tournament. Probably the most meaningful is George Schoen who is simply happy it is over. Special mention for George and Peggy Schoen and Bill Saunders for all they did to make the tournament the best ever. Bill Saunders paid fines because daughter Tracy won the club championship at the East Hartford Women’s Golf League, Team Liner/Saunders won second low net at our golf tournament, and following the tournament, members of his family who came long distances to be involved all arrived home safely in Newport, Atlanta and Madrid, Spain. Note that Bill brought in his granddaughter from Madrid to chauffeur him in one of our two beverage carts Monday. Dan Larson was praised for once again serving as our emcee for the evening. On a different note, Dan Firestone is happy his grandson, Ben, will be attending the University of Arizona. Ned Lynch decorated his office with Patriots posters, covering the Red Sox.
Really have to applaud Jack Martin. He was subbing for Jim Watts who was supposed to have been subbing for Marc Glass. Jack did a fantastic job!
