Youth: “Coats for Kids Campaign” – The annual Golf Fundraiser at the Troy Country Club was a great success with 148 golfers attending and raising $ 20,000. The legislature passed a resolution to purchase 1000 coats from B. Lodge in Albany, who also offered to donate hats and gloves, which will be distributed through several agencies to needy children. A big Thank You goes to B. Lodge for their continued support of Rensselaer County youth.
