Bette and Don Wade’s 16th annual golf tournament raised $11,000 this year, and in conjunction with their efforts, the FMB American Legion has matched those funds. The Sons Of American Legion (SAL) #274 donated $5,500, as well as FMB American Legion Post #274. The committee for the Bette and Don Wade Golf Tournament proudly presented the check for $22,000 to our local V.A. clinic, Wednesday May 20 and thanks everyone who donated prizes, sponsored holes, worked on any committee or just outright gave monies. The VFW #10097 donated its kitchen and all facilities for various fund-raisers to help make this a super year. All was greatly appreciated.
