Page 16 THE SAUGUS ADVOCATE – Friday, September 6, 2019 SOUNDS | from page 15 Help send Troop 62 scouts to Alaska Saugus Boy Scout Troop 62 is planning a 2022 trip to Alaska. Want to help them out? If you enjoy golf, or feel like contributing to a worthy, charitable cause, then get involved in the 2019 Golf Scramble Tournament that is set for 2 p.m. on Oct. 20 at Cedar Glen in Saugus. The rain date is Oct. 27. So, join the troop for some fun and golf. There will be food, raffles, prizes and more. (Raffles and games will be cash only.) The contests include 50/50 Closest to the Pin, 50/50 Longest Drive and 50/50 Putting Contest. This is an 18-and-over event, so no children are allowed to participate. The money raised will help Troop 62 scouts in pulling off their 2022 trip to Alaska. The single player admission to play golf and for the food is $75. To register with cash/check, call John Zirpolo 617-970-7471. Limited space is available. No tickets will be sold after Oct. 1. When placing your order, please note Scout or Scout Leader referral; list names of players you would like to play with (no guarantees). Any food allergy? Sorry there are no refunds. Does your company want to sponsor a hole? We have 10 spots open: holes 1-9 and the putting green for our putting contest. There is a $350, four-player admission fee to play golf and for food, along with the company Sponsor-A-Hole. Want to join in the fun but you do not play golf? Then pay $25 for a one-person food ticket. For more details, go to troop62Saugus.org and look up “events.” Happy golfing!

Saugus over coffee, anyone? Back during several stints covering local politics in Lawrence, I would organize neighborhood groups into several coffee klatches where residents would talk about major issues in their respective parts of the city. These were very popular sessions, as they would empower city voters to discuss issues on their mind and their wish lists of projects they liked to see discussed on the campaign trail. These were so successful that the citizens essentially set voter agendas for City Council, School Committee and sometimes mayoral races. Do you as a Saugus resident have issues that you would like to see public officials tackle in your neighborhood in town? Would you feel comfortable sitting down with a reporter over coffee focusing on what you would like to see done town-wide or in a specific neighborhood? Get some of your friends together, and let’s have some coffee as you articulate what you think should be an issue tackled by town or school officials.
