Friends and family of the late Muriel Cohen are planning a day-long of activities on Monday, August 22 to honor her memory.
Muriel, an area real estate broker and active community member, passed away on September 10, 2011 following a battle with cancer.
Known for her love for life, she donated her time to such organizations as Hospice, The Stanley Center for the Arts, Sitrin Nursing Home, Temple Beth El and the Resource Center for Independent Living, and Hope House.
She also enjoyed a variety of activities which participants of the Muriel Cohen Memory Celebration will also have the opportunity to experience.
A golf tournament at the Thendara Golf Club will start the day. Sign-in and a buffet lunch will begin at 11:30 a.m., followed by a shotgun start at 1 p.m.
All foursomes, pairs and individuals will be accommodated and all ability levels are welcome.
A 19th hole open bar with hors d’ oeuvres and prizes will follow the tournament.
Mahjong, dominoes, and knitting will be held at 1 p.m. in the Club House and all are invited to join in the fun.
Other scheduled activities in Muriel’s memory include kayaking at 1 p.m. at Tickner’s Moose River Canoes, and tennis at 1 p.m. at the town courts.
Anyone unable to participate in the afternoon activities is welcome to sign up as a Social Participant.
All profits of the event will benefit the 2011 Summer Golf Camp for Kids at Thendara Golf Club.
According to Thendara Golf Pro Rich Chapman the participation fee of $75 was waived this year due to the projected generosity of friends and colleagues of Muriel’s at the August 22 inaugural golf gathering.
“Over 40 kids were enrolled in this year’s camp—up about 50% from previous years. We are grateful that through this year’s tournament, and future tournaments in Muriel’s name, more kids will have the opportunity to learn the great sport of golf,” Chapman said.
To register for golf or the other activities, or for sponsorship opportunities that include Platinum, Gold and Silver levels, call Rick Weber at Meyda Tiffany at (315) 768-3711, ext 301.
Deadline for registration is Monday, August 15.
