FALLSBURG, NY – For over a quarter of a century, the Fallsburg Lions Club has held an annual golf tournament to benefit the needs of children and adults in the community.  Since the passing of prominent businessman and fellow Lion Alan Steingart, the tournament memorializes his name as well. Attracting 69 golfers and countless sponsors and Lions Club members donating time, financial and in-kind resources, the event brought in over $8,000. 

Thanks go out to the Lions Club organizers, Robert Kaplan, Cindy and Bruce Perlmutter and to the Steingart Family. Tarry Brae Golf Course, under the direction of Pro Glenn Sonnenschein, hosted the golfers on a magnificent sunny day on July 11. Lunch and dinner were part of the golfer’s package, and many local businesses donated prizes for raffles. 

The Lions Club also wishes to acknowledge the Platinum Donors Jeffrey N. Klotz of USB Financial and the Steingart and Perlmutter Families; Gold Donors were Fallsburg Lumber, Glick Hyundai-GMC, Grossinger C.C., Robert Green-Auto&Truck Dealership, Suzanne and Joseph Loughlin, Klugman Associates, Judith Rhulen, and David A. Suzzan of Northwestern Mutual.
