The Maine Forest Products Council recently held its annual golf tournament on Thursday, July 11 at the beautiful Bangor Municipal Golf Course. This year, it was named the 'Don White MFPC Classic' to honor the memory of a longtime proponent of the organization (and this event).

We would like to take a moment to thank the companies that sponsored this event, and the golfers who participated. Although it was forecasted to rain, the weather held off until after the game concluded, no doubt thanks to your generous contributions to our raffle.

This year's event was a great success. We had an impressive 29 teams representing 57 companies and organizations.

MFPC would like to thank the following companies for sending some great teams:

A&A Brochu, Bangor Savings Bank, BBC Land, BerryDunn, Caislean Title, Maine Choice Mortgage, Family Forestry, Next Home Experience, Certified Logging Professionals, Sustainable Forestry Initiative, Central Maine Power, Eaton Peabody, EJ Carrier, Farm Credit East, Haley Ward, Huber Engineered Woods, Huber Resources, Irving Woodlands, Katahdin Trust Company, Lucas Tree Experts, Machias Savings Bank, Mid-South Engineering, Prentiss & Carlisle, Quirk Auto Group, ReGenerate, Robins Lumber, Resource Wise, SAPPI, PretiFlaherty, TD Bank, UMaine, Wagner forest Mgmt., Weyerhaeuser, Woodland Pulp.

We also extend a special thanks to Rob Jarvis, the Golf Pro at the Bangor Municipal Golf Course, for helping to organize the tournament and keeping track of all the important things like scores. And another thanks to Birdies Restaurant staff and Smokey’s BBQ catering, for providing a scrumptious feast afterwards.

We also would like to congratulate (and thank) our new Office Manager, Annabelle Kidson, for doing a fantastic job organizing this event. She really did a great job pulling everything together.
