September 22 ended up being a beautiful day for a golf scramble, and we made the most of it! With nine teams participating, our Annual Lineman Scholarship Golf Scramble Fundraiser was able to raise over $4,700 for the scholarship fund this year. Those funds will be used towards a scholarship for a Frontier Community College student participating

in the Electrical Distribution Systems program. After all the support they received following his accident, Gerry and Denice wished to give back in some way: thus, the creation of this scholarship fund. The money raised this year adds to the over $22,000 that has been given out in scholarships since we began the fundraising efforts in 2016 (a year after Gerry's accident in July of 2015).

The Scramble winning team was made of of Andrew Stewart, Ben Sperry, Matt Hefley and Blaith Belangee.
