Annual tourney benefits Chamber

The annual Walla Gazoo Golf tournament and Clambake, organized by the Bethlehem office of the greater Lehigh Valley Chamber of Commerce, was held Aug. 21 at the Bethlehem Golf Club. Lynn Collins Cunningham, senior vice president of the GLVCC’s Bethlehem office, reported that 136 golfers participated in the event, enjoying a round of golf on the well-maintained course and a clambake afterward in the evening. Cunningham said the decades-old event remains one of the major fundraisers for the Chamber of Commerce in Bethlehem and that proceeds support both staffing and various initiatives. The tournament was played in a four player scramble format and the winning foursome at 12 under par (59) was comprised of Julian Sghiatti, Joey Cappelli, Dan Kluemper and Ed Kluemper. Other winners were Joe Feilmeier (closest to the pin), Pat Sewards (longest drive-men), and Linda Rosencrance (longest drive-women).
