AUGUSTA — Some 120 golfers and an additional 200 guests spent Saturday morning and afternoon playing golf in the snow at the Sussex County Fairgrounds.

More than 30 food-oriented businesses made donations for the buffet tables and many others made donations to the effort.

The focus of the event was to help ALICE (Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed). ALICE families and individuals are basically the working poor, particularly in Sussex County.
