A Round to Remember Alzheimer’s” Raises Nearly $7,000.

Nearly $7.000 was raised to provide support, education and respite care for families impacted by Alzheimer’s disease during The Homemakers Health Services “A Round to Remember Alzheimer’s” Golf Tournament which was held recently at The Oaks Golf Links.

“Today, it seems that nearly everyone is touched in some way by Alzheimer’s disease. Either you know someone who is suffering from this devastating disease itself or you know their caregiver or loved ones,” said René Philpott, community relations director at The Homemakers. “Thanks to all of our generous sponsors, raffle prize donors and participants of this year’s “A Round to Remember Alzheimer’s, The Homemakers will be able to continue to provide support, education and respite care for families who are overwhelmed by this disease.”

Nearly 70 golfers took to the course in support of this year’s event. With a score of 60, taking first place gross honors in The Homemakers “A Round to Remember Alzheimer’s” golf tournament was the Seacoast Redicare team made up of Mike Nye, Bob Belmore, John Nye and Mike White.

Taking first place net honors with a score of 50 was the team of Rob Watson, Don Chandler, Mike Chandler and Steve Schulten; and second place net honors went to the Norway Plains team who shot a 53. Members of that team included Art Nickless, Brianne St. Pierre, Schott Lawler and Dick Robinson

Winning “Most Honest” honors was the team of C. Boyen Thompson, Jane Fall, Debbie Libby and Betty Werner.

Longest drive honors went to Jim Dunn in the male category and to Debbie Libby in the female category; while Wayne Boucher made an 11’4” putt to win the longest put contest. Coming within 6” 3.75” of the pin, Brad Therrien won the closest to the pin in three contest. This year’s putting contest was won by Richard Smith.
