20th Peabody Day at Salem Country Club Was A Success!

2014 Peabody Day at Salem Country Club

The 20th annual Peabody Day was held at SCC on Monday July 7, 2014. Again this year the event vividly illustrates our commitment to our neighbors and the City of Peabody. This is not just a social event for us to share with our neighbors our renowned golf course. This event has taken on a much more important function as an event to recognize the accomplishments of the youth of Peabody and to assist in their continuing academic pursuits.

Thus, the original establishment of a fundraising effort and a scholarship fund to assist in continuing the higher education of our Peabody youth. To that end, we have presented three scholarships each year since the original Bi-centennial Event in 1995. Two of the scholarships go to deserving graduating seniors from Peabody Veterans Memorial High School and one to a Bishop Fenwick High School senior, all of whom reside in Peabody.

To date, we have awarded $244,500 in scholarships (including this year).

This year, we awarded three scholarships of $6,000 each. Funds were awarded to Timothy Parsons & Courtney Gauthier of Peabody Veterans Memorial High School, and Maire Guinee from Bishop Fenwick High School. .

Also awarded were two $3,000 Joseph M. O’Boyle Merit Scholarship to Steven LaRochelle from Peabody Veteran’s Memorial High School and Sean Walsh from Bishop Fenwick High School. We were privileged and honored to have Matthew Trainer, Joe O’Boyle’s grandson present this award.

Other attendees of the award presentation included Ron Pascucci, President of SCC, Ron Mini and John McCarthy, Chairman of the SCC Golf Committee as well as the award recipients’ parents.

Special thanks for those SCC members who were instrumental in this day; George Anderson, Anthony Turco, Kevin McGillivray, Dan Sullivan, and Jack Rossi as well as the support staff at Salem Country Club.

The day was very special, the weather turned out well and everyone enjoyed themselves. Thank You to the 256 Golfers who support and play in this tournament, and to all Salem Country Club Members and Volunteers who helped make this event a success for the last 20 years!

Sincerely,

Michael F. Tripoli, Co-Chairman
