Post I held their annual golf outing at the Ledge Meadows Golf Course in Grand Ledge. Fourteen foursomes enjoyed the 88-degree sunny day. Sixty individuals participated, including golfers and volunteers. There were several types of golf competitions during the day, including closest to the pin, men’s longest drive, women’s longest drive, and longest putt. There was a 50/50 raffle with the proceeds supporting two of TPA’s charitable arms, the TPA Hearing Trust and the Homer T. Wilson benevolent fund. In addition, Edward Kulpa, a sixty-year member of TPA, donated three items for another raffle that raised $330 for the Hearing Trust. In total, the event raised more than $1,300 for the Post I safety fund. The tournament was won by the foursome of Tyler Smith, Harold Weeks, Dave Klingbiel, and Jeff Sewick.
