Each year, the RBA offers a number of interesting and integral programs for its extended membership, which draws businesses from within and outside the county borders.
But perhaps the one event that brings everyone together for some good company for a good cause is the RBA’s annual Rockland Open, which this year was presented by Active International and Good Samaritan Hospital on May 21.
This year’s open was played on two courses, Rockland Country Club and Minisceongo Golf Club. The day benefited the community programs of the Rockland Business Association and United Way of Rockland County.
Diamond Ford sponsored the Hole-In-One car at both courses. It was a beautiful day for golf and the event feature raffles, prizes, and ended with dinner.
Howard Hellman’s (All Bright Electric) foursome consisting of Al Leotta; Ed Carpezzi and Joe Vieria won the Corporate Challenge Cup and trophies at Rockland Country Club. Robert Salmon, H&S Sales and Consultants and Barry Dorfman of Liberty Mutual Group were golf co-captains.
