Tony King Memorial Turkey Shoot

We here at Tooters have a long standing tradition. Each year on the day before Thanksgiving we invite our employees, their families, our customers and our vendors to participate in a Golf Outing we call the “Tooters Turkey Shoot”. It is a way to show our gratitude to those who make each year a successful one. One of our long term employees looked forward each year to playing with us. His name was Tony King and we all affectionately called him “Uncle Tony”. He was in his seventies and felt so honored each year to be partnered with our company President John Lingo. A few years ago Uncle Tony lost his battle with cancer. We have now changed the name of our event to the Tony King Memorial Turkey Shoot. This year we had 16 players and a great deal of fun and friendship. We started this outing as we do each year with a “Bloody Mary” toast to Uncle Tony. In the ever changing times that we live in it is very important to show gratitude to those who have made your life what it is today and for those who continue to do so. A very Happy Holiday Season to All!
