Fire department benefits from golf tournament

A check for $6,400, the proceeds from the first joint golf tournament held by the Churchville Lions Club and the Churchvhille Fire Department was presented to the Churchville Fire Department at the Lions monthly meeting on November 8.

The tournament, held September 17 at the Churchille Golf Course, was co-chaired by Mark Leibeck, a Churchville fire fighter and Jim Lamica, past president of the Lions Club. "We hope to make this an annual event with the proceeds going to a different community organization each year," Lamica said.

The tournament had 119 golfers participating and 20 local businesses and several individuals donating towards prizes. The money will be used by the fire department to update their radio dispatch equipment.
