12th annual golf outing to raise funds

Plans are well underway for the 12th annual Community Caregivers Golf Outing, scheduled for Monday, June 20, at Orchard Creek Golf Course in Altamont. Player invitations have gone out and we look forward to a full field.

This year’s format is the same as in prior years: a scramble with three divisions — men's, women's and mixed. There will be prizes for closest to the pin and longest drive. And Lia Motors is offering a lease on a car for a hole in one on the 17th hole, which is par 3.

A big thank-you to our dedicated sponsors: Adirondack Environmental, Blasch Precision Ceramics, PhRMA, the State Employees Federal Credit Union, the American Association of Retired Persons, and Albany Medical Center.  Price Chopper/ Market 32 and Northway 8 are also offering hole-in-one prizes.

We have some great silent-auction items again this year, including a clubhouse box at Saratoga, a foursome of golf with carts at Leatherstocking Golf Course, a signed photo of Arnold Palmer, a cooking lesson with Chef Gio at Gio Culinary Studio in Voorheesville, and many others.

The player fee of $145 includes range balls, golf cart, box lunch, cocktails, hors d'oeuvres, and a chicken-and-rib dinner.
