TFMoran sponsors charity event for Marguerite’s Place-Nashua
The Greater Manchester-Nashua NH Home Builders Association held their 21st Annual Charity Golf Tournament on May 21, 2019 at Passaconaway Country Club in Litchfield. The golf tournament benefited Marguerite’s Place in Nashua, a transitional housing program for women and children in crisis. TFMoran was happy to support this great cause by sponsoring the tournament breakfast and signing up a foursome. Dan Blais, one of TFM’s Senior Project Managers, and a member of NHHBA, put the TFM team together:
(L to R) Dan Blais, Doug Blais, Eric Salovitch, and Dylan Cruess
The TFMoran team came in 4th place with a respectable score of -9. The course was windy but, it was a great day for golf. Dan won the straightest drive with the ball landing 17” from the line. Eric won closest to the pin on the air cannon hole landing the ball 7’ 6’’ away from the pin, which he says was “total luck”. And, when the pressure was on, the team counted on Dylan when they needed the clutch shots! Great job guys!
The tournament wrapped up with a delicious lunch and a chance to do some networking and relax after a fun morning of golf. Approximately 144 players participated – a Big Thanks to Lisa Bowman, the volunteers, sponsors and NHHBA for putting on another great event for a great cause!
