PARSIPPANY — The Woman’s Club of Parsippany Troy Hills (WCPTH) held its 34th Annual Tee off for Education Golf Classic at the Knoll West Country Club on July 14.

The Golf Classic is the primary fundraiser for the club’s educational programs and scholarships. Last year the club awarded nine scholarships to graduating Parsippany area High School seniors and awarded a scholarship in the continuing education program for a woman from the Jersey Battered Women’s Services. The club also participated in several elementary and middle school educational programs.

Seventy-eight golfers, including Parsippany Councilman Michael dePierro enjoyed the day. Two golfers, Dean Gannett and Rich Gannon, won the putting green contest, each having a hole in one in the contest. Club President, Marilyn Marion thought this was a first for the Golf Classic. There were also 40 non-golfers, many from St. Ann’s Church and area Women’s Clubs, who supported the fundraiser.

While the golfers were out on the course, there were several bridge, dominos and pokingo games being played. After the golf and games were finished, everyone was able to consider bidding on the vast Tricky Tray selection which included Yankee tickets, baskets of cheer, theater tickets, Vera Bradley hand bags, signed Jets football, gift cards to local restaurants and much more.

Parsippany-Troy Hills Mayor James Barberio was able to join everyone for the buffet lunch.

The Woman’s Club of Parsippany Troy Hills wishes to thank all of the area businesses who donated money, prizes and more. Their continued support of this annual event helps to make it a success. Next year the 35th Annual Tee Off for Education Golf Classic will be held on Tuesday, July 12.

The Woman’s Club of Parsippany-Troy Hills is a member of the New Jersey State Federation of Women’s Clubs of GFWC (NJSFWC), which is the largest volunteer women’s service organization in the state, providing opportunities for education, leadership training, and community service. The next General Meeting which is open to area women will be on Monday, September 28.
