Another Success for the Students and Sisters
by Kristina Papa, Manager of Special Events and Direct Mail

This year’s Sisters of Mercy Golf Classic was a perfect example of what a little hard work – and a lot of prayers – add up to! Tuesday, May 6 began as a cloudy morning but gave way to partly sunny skies as golfers headed out to the stunning course at Ardsley Country Club.

36 tee/green sponsor signs adorned the sloping greens of the golf course, where 86 golfers put their skills to the test. In an effort to spice up the competition a bit, hole #9 featured a bright red Mini Cooper, courtesy of Westchester BMW, and hole #2 featured an RX 330, courtesy of Ray Catena Lexus. Both cars were offered as prizes to anyone scoring a hole in one.

 The Sisters of Mercy are incredibly lucky to have loyal supporters who have been a driving force behind this outing since its inception in 2000. Co-Chair Bill Angarano of Wealth & Joy Accelerated, LLC along with committee members Glenn Diehl of Skyline Displays Manhattan, Michael Ciaramella of Joseph Polchinski Monuments, and Mike McHugh of Moretrench American Corporation, are just a few of the people who were instrumental in this year’s success.

After the Sisters of Mercy, golfers, and friends were treated to an open bar and fabulous grand buffet on a terrace overlooking the Hudson River, Golf Pro Jim Bender announced the competitive winners and Co-Chairs Bill Angarano and Jack McArdle announced the raffle winners.

Thanks to the overwhelming support of our sponsors and golfers and the steadfast commitment of our committee and staff, we enjoyed another wonderful success for Mercy Secondary Education. So, let’s give thanks for another amazing achievement for the sisters and students! 

Mark your calendars: Next year’s Golf Classic will be held on May 11, 2004.
