Lanark News: Golf club hosts tournament Saturday
Hi y’all:
As an interim measure, the paper boxes have been removed from the Lanark area. The Apalachicola Times can be bought at Carrabelle Junction and Carrabelle IGA. This article is published on the website on Mondays. Sorry for the inconvenience.
The American Legion Post 82 Sons/Riders cooked up some amazing chicken for our enjoyment. Those one-half chicken dinners were huge and some of the best I have ever had. All this hard work went for a fundraiser to benefit the maintenance and insurance fund. The Sons/Riders also had a 50/50 which was for the veterans suicide prevention fund. The drawing was that evening at the Legion while listening to the music of John Jeremiah, Anni Ross had the winning ticket on 50/50 and returned her portion to the Legion. Thank you, Anni.
On Sunday Lanark kicked off the day with their monthly covered dish which was very successful. After a little rest some of us moved on to the American Legion for a Super Bowl party. Congratulations to the Chiefs!
The Lanark Village Golf Club will have a tournament this Saturday, Feb. 17 from noon to 2 p.m. All ages are welcome with an adult. There will be golf lessons from local golf pro Nola Tolbert followed by a nine-hole tournament. A $5 donation is recommended, and children are free. Water and hot dogs are available for donations. Bring the family out for a fun day. Remember to bring your own clubs or some will be provided.
