   On May 25, 2006, players and volunteers gathered at Berkshire Hills Country Club  at Berkshire County Arc’s 12th Annual Golf Classic to try to sink putts, win  door prizes, enjoy the company and ,most important,   to benefit individuals with disabilities supported by BCARC.

  With perfect weather conditions this year, 216 golfers enjoyed a day on the course.

   Eighty-nine businesses and

agencies sponsored either tees, greens, or carts for the tournament and proved once more their impressive support for people with disabilities in our community.   Additional donations of three door prizes, twenty-four silent auction items and thirty-two raffle prizes gave the fundraising effort an extra boost and an element of fun.

   BCARC fortunately welcomed back Berkshire Bank and Health
