On Saturday, July 1st, the Knights of Columbus – Riverside Council 26 will hold its 4th Annual Charity Golf Event in honor of MEL HENDERSHOT, a recently-departed, long-time member of Riverside Council 26. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced golfer, enjoy a day of friendly golf, compete for contest prizes and playing prizes ….. while honoring Mel's memory, AND helping support the ST. MARY/ST. ROBERT SCHOLARSHIP FUND!
This year our golf event - the "Mel Hendershot Memorial Golf Tournament" - will take place at Airways Golf Course in West Suffield. Mel, who passed away on March 12th, took up golf when he retired in 1987 and it became one of his greatest passions. A regular player at Airways, Mel became known as “Mr. Airways.” The 10th hole there treated Mel especially well, where he made 3 holes-in-one!
The ST. MARY/ST. ROBERT SCHOLARSHIP FUND which this event supports, provides scholarships to high school seniors from the St. Mary’s & St. Robert’s parishes who are going on to college. Over the past three years, our charity golf event has raised over $4,500 for high school scholarships, much of which has been made possible by the additional support we have received from those who have played, as well as the event's donors and sponsors!
