Friends of the Milton Council on Aging Plan Annual Golf Tournament

For the 14th year, golfers are preparing to tee off at the Friends of the Milton Council on Aging Annual Golf Tournament. The tournament will return to the Milton Hoosic Club Golf Course, 70 Greenlodge St. in Canton, on June 7.

For a cost of $150, golfers can participate in the shotgun tournament and receive lunch, dinner and a souvenir. Golf tournament chair Philip Driscoll said there are currently 59 golfers registered, and registrations are still being accepted. Interested participants can call the Council on Aging at 617-898-4893.

A raffle will also be held the day of the event. Items include: gift certificates for Abby Park, 88 Wharf, Cedar Grove Gardens and Salon D'Alessandro among others. Tickets are $5 each or five for $20.

All the money raised at the annual tournament benefits the council's van transportation services. The council has a fleet of five vans with six drivers that transport Milton seniors to medical appointments, grocery stores and to the center. Users must be over 60 years of age and live in Milton. First-time users of the service will be visited by the outreach team to explain the program.
