PARIS — Fairlawn Golf Course in Poland will be the setting for the 2nd annual golf tournament sponsored by the Western Maine Veterans Advisory Committee on Saturday, Aug. 25. The tournament is one of the many fundraisers sponsored by the group throughout the year to raise funds for the Maine Veterans’ Home in South Paris. Funds raised go directly towards the Activities Fund at the 90-bed facility.

“We are very fortunate to have such strong roots in the community and the committee’s efforts reflect this,” said Joel Dutton, administrator of the South Paris facility.

“Last year we had approximately 90 players for the first tournament, and it proved to be a great success” said Richard Young, co-chairman of the event.

The scramble format of play will commence with a shotgun start at 9 a.m. The tournament includes 18 holes of competition, use of a cart, a catered meal at the completion of the event and a number of prizes donated by local sponsors. Goodwin Motors of Norway is the sponsor for a hole in one prize of a new Chevrolet Sonic. Calloway Gifts will be presented as prizes for other categories of play. Goodie bags, filled by local sponsors, will be given to each player. Trophies will be presented to the recipients of various categories.

The committee is still accepting sponsors and players. The cost of registration for each player is $65. One hundred percent of the profit goes towards the activity fund. To register or become a sponsor, call 744-9156.

Another fundraiser coinciding with the golf tournament is a raffle for a new 2012 Chevrolet Sonic. Tickets are $10 each. The winner will be drawn during the banquet and anyone can buy a ticket to support the activities program at the facility. Tickets are available at the facility, and will be on sale the day of the tournament.

Maine Veterans’ Home is at 477 High St. and offers residential care, long term care, skilled nursing and rehabilitation and dementia care.
