    Officials have announced plans to host their fourth annual TD Banknorth Golf Tournament to Benefit the NMCC Foundation at the Aroostook Valley Country Club in Fort Fairfield on Thursday, Aug. 13. 

    “TD Banknorth is pleased to be the title sponsor of this most enjoyable and beneficial event for a fourth consecutive year. This year’s tournament again benefits the  NMCC Foundation. Funds raised will support the many worthwhile ongoing activities of the foundation and will provide important scholarships for many worthy students through the TD Banknorth Scholarship Fund,” said Michael Kelley, Sr., executive vice president of TD Banknorth.
    “As title sponsor, TD Banknorth is proud to be a partner with organizations such as NMCC, and, most importantly, pleased to be able to support area students in their quest to pursue higher education.”
    In addition to the title sponsor TD Banknorth, Quigley’s Building Supply of Fort Kent and Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Presque Isle, along with the Northern Maine Development Commission and WAGM-TV, are major sponsors of the event. Last year’s tournament raised more than $17,000, and this year’s event promises to be even more successful with the addition of several new sponsors.
    The tournament will also feature a hole-in-one prize, a cruise package sponsored by CruiseOne. Lunch will be sponsored by the Maine Winter Sports Center.  
    A silent auction will follow the tournament and include items donated by several businesses.
    “I encourage all to take advantage of a great afternoon of golf and camaraderie in support of TD Banknorth’s fourth annual golf tournament,” said Melony LeShane, who serves as chair of the golf tournament related activities committee for the NMCC Foundation.
    Individuals interested in playing in the tournament or attending the dinner can contact Aimee Wilkins in the NMCC Foundation Office at 760-1188 or awilkins@nmcc.edu.
