generosity in
senior project
fundraiser
To the editor:
Lake PlacidOn June 7, Craig
Wood Golf Club hosted my
senior class project that was a
fundraiser to benefit the Lake
Placid High School Athletics
Department. We generated
more than $3,000 to give
back to school, and it could
not have been done without
the much- appreciated help of
sponsors and staff.
These businesses include
the UPS Store, Great
Adirondack Steak and
Seafood, Adirondack Auto,
Mirror Lake Inn, Josh
Cramoy Band, ORDA, Far
Mor's Kids, Howard
Johnson's, Wildwood Motel,
Hurley Bros., Villa Vespa,
NBT Bank, Fallen Arch, Mr.
Mike's Pizza, Simply
Gourmet, Brown Dog Deli,
Saranac Inn Golf Club,
Tupper Lake Country Club,
Lake Placid Club Resort,
Whiteface Club, Fireside
Steakhouse, and The Market.
A special thank you goes out
to Coca-Cola for their donation of prizes, a hole sponsor,'
and complimentary beverages.
I would also like to thank
the staff at Craig Wood Golf
Club for hosting this event,
and the town of North Elba
for helping to make this possible.
Finally, thank-you to the
participants of the 21 teams
who made this tournament
such a success, and the many
people who did not play, but
donated to the cause.
As I graduate this month,
this will be one of the special
memories I will take from
Lake Placid.

Thanks to the
community in
helping St.
Agnes Gala
To the editor,
Thank you to all of the
businesses and individual
members of our great community who helped to make our
annual St. Agnes Spring Gala
a huge success. Held at the
beautiful Whiteface Club and
Resort, this wonderful
fundraising event was filled
with great food, fun; dancing
and the spirit of generosity.
We depend on this community support for a portion of our
budget, and we are thankful to
live in an area that recognizes
the value of having St. Agnes
School available as an important educational option.
Our small Catholic school
has a proven record of graduating high-achieving students
who have gone on to be positive, contributing members of
society. St. Agnes produces
students who excel in academics, know how to problem
solve, are good role models,
understand the value of contributing to the community
and have a strong focus on
personal faith and values. This
is what all parents hope for
when choosing a school for
their children. We sincerely
thank all of our generous supporters over the years for
helping to keep this opportunity available here in Lake
Placid.
Sincerely,
Margie Gallagher
St. Agnes Ed Council
Lake Placid
A good-bye to
John Wisner
To the editor:
It was shocking and unfortunate news, the passing of
John "Bucky" Wisner. He
was a man of character and
integrity. He brought joy and
a sense of security to so many
people.
I wanted to pass on to those
who are interested, there is a
book signing on line; go to
timesunion.com, click on obituaries, and follow the prompts
for book signings under John
Wisner.
May he rest in peace.
