Many Showed Gratitude for Service in Golf Tourney

      What an incredible community we live in. I mean that with all sincerity and I have proof. A few weeks ago Bushkill Emergency Corps held its second annual Golf Tournament. To say there was widespread community support and participation is an understatement!

      The common dialouge during the prep time from all experts was that if you come near breaking this year, consider yourself blessed. Well it not only went beyond breaking even, it surpassed last year's results and raised $4000 for the ambulance corps.

      It didn't hurt that the weather held out that day, there was a 2010 Fiesta waiting at hole 11 (provided by Family Ford) as well as, the field of golfers, sponsors and door prize donors were out to really help raise much needed funds. There was a close call for a hole-in-one for the car, but no winner. There was a Pot O' Gold winner and a raffle as two memberships for Great Bear were at stake. The winner for the membership donated by Great Bear for the ambulance's raffle was Kathleen Farrelly.

      The top flight winners for the tournament were the foursome of Joge Mutis, Sean Burke, Alan Daniels and Ray Boeckmann. The list of tee and green sponsors was a virtual who's who of Family Ford, the Lehman Township Supervisors, Sons of the American Legion and the American Legion Auxiliary (both of Newman Smith Post 514). State Reresentatives John Siptroth and Mario Scavello as well as Middle Smithfield Supervisor Mitchell Marcus and Congressional canidate Lou Barletta attended. Local businesses were supportive and in full force: Bushkill Corners, the Log Cabin Bar and Resturant, Shawnee Medical Group, Dr. Frank Toton, Bushkill falls, Four Seasons Resturant and Dinner, Michael Baxter and Assoc., Suburban EMS, Eastern Monroe Leasing and Training, ECCO Communications, Bushkill Creamery, Eagle Village POA, Summit Physical Therapy, The Dreher Agency, NEPA Apprasials Services, PNC Bank, Martocci Automotive, Marshalls Creek Wellness Solutions, Republic First National, and Lehigh Valley Health Network.

      There was a long list of golfers leaving with great door prizes too. Local support again was so important and encouraging from: Pocono Palace, Dandana Resturant, Shawnee Inn and Golf Course, Friendly's, Hair solutions, Lesley's Salon, Taste of Portugal, Four Seasons Dinner, John Sivick, Weis Markets, Mountain Manor Golf Course, Country Club of the Poconos, Sky's the Limit, ESSA, The Dreher Agency, Forever Living products, The Big A Grillehouse and Bar, Cafe Europa, Richard's Tree Farm, Regina Farms, Josephine Ferro, Country Kettle, Custom Import Performance, Tickle my Piig, Bushkill Corners and Creamery, Martocci Automotive, Office Direct, Fernwood Resort, Foodtown, Au Bon Pain at the Crossings, Pizzaro's Pizza, Alaska Pete's, Los Tres Amigos, Shawnee Mountain, Siplada Designs-Karen Dematteo, Louie's Steak and Rib at Pub 570, and NEPA Appraisal Services.

      The volunteers who donated their time to making the event a success were: Barbara Kulick, Susanne Duffy, Dee Smith, Jean Detlefs, Caitlin Guindon, Stephanie Ciccone, Bill Duffy, Joe Bolger, and Brunno Hennings, The Ahnert Family and the staff of Great Bear Golf and Country Club were welcoming hosts.

      The committee of John Sivick, Mark Moorhead, Maureen Moorhead, Dennis Farrelly, Kathleen Farrelly are already hard at work on next year's event. The Bushkill Emergency Corps is celebrating its 45th annivesery of serving our community. Nothing shows appreciation more than the support from those who have served.
