Passing Of Two Past Members & Pullers

David LaMarche Memorial Fund
The LaMarche Family established the Dave LaMarche Sportsmanship Award. The award will be made annually at the NYTPA Fall Banquet. The award of a plaque and $250 cash will be made to the NYTPA member puller, crewperson or family member who upholds the values of sanctioned pulling with NYTPA and goes the extra mile to make a difference for others through encouragement, assistance and an all around good attitude.
The annual selection will be made by a committee of NYTPA Officers and tech officials who worked during the pulling season. The inaugural award was made at the 2011 banquet in Albany, NY by Andrea LaMarche Hannan Dawkes to Jessie MacDoanld.

Auction - Donations
The NYTPA banquet auction grossed $3,630 which was a huge record. $1,500 was set aside for flood victims and with the David LaMarche award donation from Jessie MacDonald a total of $1,720 was split $875.00 each to the Schoharie County Community Action Program and the Rural Areaq Recovery Effort in the form of numerous gift cards from Lowes and Home Depot. Each group also received 15 t-shirts. Both groups were very appreciative.
