The Berlin Vounteer Fire Depatments team up with Rotary for Charity Golf Tournament!
The Town of Berlin Volunteer Fire Departments and the Rotary Club of Kensington-Berlin proudly announce a joint Charity Golf Tournament to be held on September 12, 204 at Timberlin Golf Course in Berlin. The joint venture will raise money for al four of the Berlin Volunteer Fire Departments which include Berlin, East Berlin, Kensington and South Kensington as well as the many Rotary service projects including Amber Alert Sessions, Gift of Hope Dictionary Project & Scholarships for Berlin High School students. In addition, a portion of the proceeds will benefit the Shelby Luddy Fund. Shelby at the age of 16 suffered a stroke due to Moyamoya Syndrome. She recently graduated from Berlin High School where she walked twelve steps to receive her diploma. Proceeds will help defer expenses for long term medical care.
"We could not think of a better way to celebrate our 10 year anniversary in Rotary than to partner with the Berlin Volunteer Fire Departments to benefit our community", stated Marie Bogdanski, President of the Rotary Club of Kensington-Berlin. "We are thrilled to team up with these brave firefighters who risk their lives for us every day. They are our heroes and truly embody the Rotary motto of Service Above Self."
Brian Chapman, Fire Chief of the South Kensington Fire Department remarked, " There are heroes that run inside burning buildings to save lives, and then there are heroes who step up and volunteer their time to help those in need. This golf tournament will be a partnership of both in which we will join forces and raise money for the four fire departments. For us, it is an honor to have been asked by the Rotary Club of Kensington-Berlin to assist in this fundraiser.
