Maybe Laconia doesn’t need volunteers to help in other ways to benefit the people who really need assistance and can’t afford it, i.e., the elderly.

Just realized that you have me confused with someone else. "profit making business" ??? we acquired this property in early July. It was in disarray and far from condition worthy of a green fee. I have much more work to do before we can label it "profit making business". I must admit that the smile on these teens' faces when they hit a golf ball well is a reward worth more than profit for me.
It all started when I hosted a free golf clinic for the LRBGC teens. Soon after that, the teens started showing up to help. They'd say the were "paying it forward". It was touching to learn that they recognize the value of golf to our community. I encourage you to research the value of golf to the elderly. Sam, If you help the boys and girls club, I'll establish a free play policy for the low income elderly.
