On May 14, the Saranac Lake Volunteer Fire Department held its fourth annual Golf Tournament at the Saranac Inn Golf Club. One hundred thirty-six golfers from all around the area came out to enjoy a beautiful spring day and to show their support for the fire department. Our fundraiser was a great success, and it was nice to see everyone who participated. Team Aldridge took first place, shooting minus 11 and consisted of Rodger Aldridge, Ace Jopling, Clarence Bell and Keegan Vize.

The Saranac Lake Volunteer Fire Department would like to thank all the participants, along with the following individuals and businesses that made this a successful fundraiser:

The lead sponsor once again for our event was Burnham Benefit Advisors, who provided, among other things, new golf balls and mini coolers to all the players. Our hole sponsors were Fisher, Bessette, Muldowney and McArdle, LLC; Adirondack Landscaping; Fourtune-Keough Funeral Home; Saranac Lake Moose Lodge No. 457; Bloomingdale Volunteer Fire Department Auxiliary; Romano's Saranac Lanes; Riverside Pet Supplies; Spencer Boatworks; Hyde Fuel; Belleville & Associates; Say Real Estate; Say Rentals; Edward Jones Investments; Jim Cochran; Casa Del Sol; High Peaks Distributing; Municipal Emergency Services; Community Bank; and High Peaks Ford.

Special thanks to Saranac Inn Golf Club, Chris and Missy Blanchard, Rockbottomgolf.com, Cape Air, Upstate Vinyl Graphics and Dr. Matthew Morgan, who won the 50/50 drawing and donated his winnings back to the fire department. Other businesses that donated auction items and supported the event include Tupper Lake Country Club, Hulbert's Tri-Lake Supply, Wireless Zone, Deperados, New York State Troopers Police Benevolent Association, Grizle-T's and Wayne Darrah Auto Body.
