MANOR - Sixty golfers participated in the annual Manor & RM 63 Fire Department golf tournament on Aug. 27.
It was held at the Carlyle Golf Club. The format was a four-person best ball and attracted golfers from all over southeast Saskatchewan.
Deputy Chief Kent Lees was pleased with how the fundraiser went. “Everyone had a great time, and everyone won a door prize. The weather was perfect, and Terri Field and her staff did a wonderful job. The Carlyle course is in beautiful shape.”
The fire department is raising funds to assist in the construction of a 40-foot by 56-foot expansion on their fire hall. They currently have five emergency response units with only two overhead doors. The building extension will assist with response times and overall readiness.
Excluding the proceeds from the golf tournament, the fire department now has over $104,000 of the estimated $215,000 needed to complete the project. Step one of this three-phase undertaking will commence this fall with the post frame building addition to be delivered and built.
Lucille Dunn is the treasurer of the Manor Fire Department.
“We have applied to the provincial government for another Chase the Ace lottery licence,” she said. “This Friday night fundraiser will run from October 14, 2022, to March 31, 2023. This will be our fifth consecutive year of this lottery and funds raised will go towards the building expansion.”
Lees wanted to thank all golfers who attended and the many sponsors that contributed to the raffle and door prizes. A delicious roast beef supper was catered to by Carlyle Family Foods.
“Thanks to everyone who golfed, our business sponsors and our volunteers,” said Lees. “There is no doubt we will be doing it all again next year.”
