Coeur d'Alene golf course group more than halfway to fundraising goal

COEUR d'ALENE — A grassroots group looking to raise $50,000 to help cover expenses following extensive wind damage at the Coeur d'Alene Golf Club in January is more than halfway to its goal.

Recovery and manpower costs to date have reached $177,000, with insurance reimbursements covering $132,000.

"As chairman, I feel confident that community support will offset the insurance shortfall," said John Adams, owner of Coeur d'Alene Tractor and chairman of the grassroots group "Friends Foundation."

Those interested in donating can visit cdapublicgolffriends.com, drop off donations at the golf course pro shop, or mail to "Friends Foundation", P.O. Box 2912, Coeur d'Alene, ID 83816.
