Beth Sholom Village’s Fifth Annual Richard “Dick” Porter Memorial Golf Tournament was held on Monday, Oct. 22 at Bayville Golf Course.
Six golfers braved the beautiful blue skies, low humidity and bright sunshine and played a total of 332 holes of golf! The golfers were joined at lunch by Ellie Porter, Sandra Porter Leon, and Neil Friedman, president of Beth Sholom Village.
Many people in the community pledged a flat amount or a “per hole” amount to raise almost $60,000. The golfers (and the number of holes they played) are: David Abraham, Village executive vice president (42), Bryan Mesh, Village chief development officer (64), Stewart Kahn (72), Bob Salter (54), Larry Siegel (54), and Chris Sisler (46). In addition to lunch, the golfers had a good time at the 19th hole.
Plans are already underway for next year’s tournament so plan to be a part of the fun-raising. For information call Bryan Mesh 420-2512.
