NMCC golf tournament set for August 11
Officials with TD Bank and the Northern Maine Community College Foundation have announced plans to host their sixth annual golf tournament at the Aroostook Valley Country Club in Fort Fairfield on Thursday, August 11. Last year’s event was a huge success with 34 teams competing in the three-person team best ball scramble.
“TD Bank is pleased to again partner on this most enjoyable and beneficial event. Funds raised will support the many worthwhile ongoing activities of the NMCC Foundation and will provide important scholarships for many worthy students through the TD Bank Scholarship Fund,” said Michael Kelley, Sr., regional vice president of TD Bank. “As title sponsor, TD Bank is proud to be a partner with organizations such as NMCC, and, most importantly, pleased to be able to support area students in their quest to pursue higher education.”
