Hospital Scholarship Golf Tournament Deadline Near

NEWPORT. VT - Time is running out to register for the 12th Annual North Country Hospital Health Care Careers Scholarship Fund Benefit Golf Tournament. This year, the fun-filled event will be held on Saturday, August 25 at Newport Country Club. Eighteen holes of competitive golf, dinner, door prizes and many other fun events are scheduled. The registration deadline is Friday, August 10th.
New features this year include the Hole in One prize of a brand new Chevy Cobalt from Mulkin Automotive and an optional putting competition.
Entry forms are available at area golf courses. For information or an entry form for this year's tournament please call Wendy Franklin at 334-4286. All entries must be received by August 10th, 2007. The field will be limited to the first 36 teams in order of receipt and payment of registration fees.
Local businesses and national companies support the tournament by sponsoring a hole with their sign on it for $250. Since the fund was established in 1988, 153 scholarships have been awarded to deserving candidates from this area who are pursuing careers as health care professionals. This spring the hospital was able to offer ten new scholarships as a result of last year's tournament proceeds of $12,000.
"The tournament is a scramble format. This works very well and makes the competition more equal among golfers of varying skill levels," explained Sid Toll of Derby, who is chairing the event. “The entry fee is $60 and that includes a tournament wind shirt and delicious dinner.”
