Chrysler Comes Up Big for Flood Victims

The Chrysler Corporation along with Roscoe's Kirchner Chrysler dealership and the Twin Village Golf Club (TVGC) on Sunday, July 8 pulled together to assist the flood victims from last months flooding in the Colchester-Roscoe area.
The Drive For The Chrysler fund raiser and the Annual Twin Village Golf Club Memorial Tournament were successful in raising over $1,200 which will be put into the funding for the June flood victims in the northern part of the Town of Rockland in Sullivan County and Colchester in Delaware County.
The Drive For The Chrysler event was organized by Karrie and Max Jara of the Roscoe Kirchner Chrysler Dealership along with great cooperation from Kenneth Boufford, field representative for Promotion and Services Inc., Automotive Division-Jubilee Group (Daimler Chrysler) out of Greenwich, N.Y. They set up a test drive (road test) at the golf tournament opposite the Rockland House and each person who drove a new Chrysler or Dodge received a free sleeve of golf balls and Daimler Chrysler donated $5 for each test drive to the flood relief fund.
Additional assistance and cooperation from the Chrysler Corporation and the Roscoe Kirchner Chrysler Dealership came in the sponsorship of a hole-in-one competition with the winner of an ace of the 175-yard par 3 eighth hole receiving a new 2007 Chrysler Sebring convertable.
The Sebring went unclaimed but the tournament and awards banquet dinner proved to be a complete success.
A total of over $2,000 in golf packages and prizes donated by area golf courses and other area merchants were awarded to tournament golfers.
This yearly and very popular golf tournament raised money for the flood victims and the tournament committee headed up by Chuck Husson in years past has also directed the fund raising to the Twin Village Golf Club Youth Golfer scholarshipsto and has assisted needy families and other Roscoe volunteer organizations.
Husson in announcing the total monies raised thanked both the Chrysler Corporation and the Kirchner Chrysler Dealership for their participation in the tournament and their dedication and support of youth golfers.
Boufford said that of all the tournaments that he is involved with, the Twin Village Memorial Tournament gets the most people out for the test drives. He pointed out that this is due to the local dealerships involvement in the local community. The Chrysler test drive saw over 222 people take part.
