The Greater Lynn Senior Services (GLSS) and the Lynn Lions Club are currently planning their first annual Partners for Good Golf Tournament, which is being held as part of an effort to raise much needed funds for eye research and continued operations for GLSS.
“It’s a pretty exciting opportunity for the folks at GLSS and the Lions Club to do something for the community and raise a substantial amount of money for good causes,” said event chairman Councilor Paul Crowley.
The tournament will be held on Monday, June 23, at Mount Hood Golf Course in Melrose.  The day will include a luncheon reception, entertainment, surprise guests and grand prizes ranging from 50/50 raffles to hole-in-one contests.
WEEI, sports radio 850 has already stepped to the plate with a donation for the event.  Jason Wolfe, the station’s program director, has donated a Terry Francona autographed baseball, a framed David Ortiz portrait and a pair of Red Sox tickets to be raffled off at the golf course.
Crowley is hoping that Lynn’s business community will follow the generous donations from the radio station with enthusiastic support for event.
“We are really reaching out to the community for their support,” he said.  “Anything anyone can do to help would be appreciated.”
GLSS is hoping to raise enough money to continue providing a wide range of social services that help seniors in Greater Lynn.  “GLSS provides services ranging from meals to transportation to case management for over 3,000 seniors a day, and we want to improve on those services,” Crowley said.
The Lynn Lions Club has worked tirelessly towards advanced eye research. Money raised from the golf outing will help the Lynn club’s efforts.
Harrington Events is working in conjunction with the group, and has set up a Web site at www.harringtonevents.com/glss-ll for those wishing to participate.
