POLAND — The Western Maine Veterans’ Advisory Committee will hold a golf tournament at Fairlawn Golf Course on Wednesday, Aug. 24, to support veterans. All funds received will be used exclusively for activities and needs of the residents at the Maine Veterans’ Home in South Paris.

Goodwin Chevrolet Buick in Oxford will donate a new 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche as a prize to the first person who sinks a hole-in-one on the second hole. Goodwin’s will also donate one of the following prizes for the first hole in one at the remaining three par-three holes: a set of Calloway razor irons (4-SW), three days and two nights at the TPC Sawgrass or the San Antonio and finally a Calloway Razor driver, 3 and 5 wood.

Shotgun start will be at 10 a.m. This tournament will use a scramble format.

Western Maine Advisory Committee is still looking for individual players as well as teams to compete in this shotgun scramble. The entrance fee is $60 per person. A catered meal is included in the tournament fee and will be served in the upper function room at Fairlawn after all golfers are off the course. Prizes, awards and grab bags will be presented at the conclusion of the meal.

The Maine Veteran’s Home is a 90-bed facility offering skilled rehabilitation, residential care, as well as long-term and dementia care. The Western Maine Advisory Committee helps to supports residents at this home by providing fun activities like outings, dining out and whale watching.

Those who are not golfers can support veterans by becoming sponsors or donating. For more information contact Dick Young at 890-3600 or Ron Snow at 744-9156.
