BRATTLEBORO -- Southeastern Vermont Community Action (SEVCA) held its 9th Annual "Chipping Away at Poverty" Benefit Golf Tournament at the Crown Point Country Club in Springfield on June 5.

The Tournament Co-Sponsors were Don’s Heating, LLC, and National Fiber. With 80 golfers and 50 sponsors/donors, the tourney raised $11,000 for low-income families and individuals in Windham and Windsor counties.

A Hole-In-One contest sponsored by Durand Toyota Ford gave participants the chance to win a new Toyota Corolla and other valuable prizes. Although there were some close calls, there were no winners.

There was also a putting contest for a possible $5,000 cash prize. Although no one sank the 80-foot putt for the grand prize this year, Jeff Kellar won a smaller cash prize for getting closest to the hole. Players also enjoyed participating in a 50/50 raffle and a ‘Vegas Hole’ competition, in addition to the team and individual golfing competitions.

Tournament winners were: 1st Place Team - Kinney-Pike Insurance; 2nd Place - Westview Terrace Apts.; 3rd Place - N.E.T.O.; Men’s Closest to the Pin - Bill Sovie; Women’s Longest Drive - Julie Bastille; Men’s Longest Drive - John Lehmann.
