NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The 27th annual MCLA Athletics Golf Classic will be held Monday, Sept. 23 at Wyndhurst Golf & Club in Lenox.

The Golf Classic serves as a major fundraiser for the College's Athletic Department. Over the years, the Classic has netted $25,000–$40,000 annually to support MCLA's student-athletes.

"We are so grateful to our sponsors and participants, both those who are dedicated longtime supporters and those who are new this year," said MCLA Assistant Dean for Athletics & Recreation Laura Mooney. "Their generosity and contributions allow the department to make facility upgrades and to enhance the student-athlete experience through new uniforms, team gear, and specialized equipment purchases. These items directly impact the recruitment, retention, and success of our students and student-athletes."

Each year, MCLA recognizes a deserving individual or business that has impacted MCLA Athletics. This year's honoree is Jason Dohaney '04, a financial advisor at MountainOne Investments and the chair of the MCLA Foundation.

This year's Golf Classic Premier Sponsor is MountainOne.

The format for the event is an 18-hole scramble tournament. The entry cost includes greens fees, golf cart rental, course snacks, a post-golf dinner, branded gifts, and more.

Landon LeClair and Superintendent James Brosnan with Landon's parents Eric and Susan LeClair, who is a teacher at McCann.

NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The Superintendent's Award has been presented to Landon LeClair, a senior in McCann Technical School's advanced manufacturing course.

The presentation was made last Thursday by Superintendent Jame Brosnan after Principal Justin Kratz read from teachers' letters extolling LeClair's school work, leadership and dedication.

"He's become somewhat legendary at the Fall State Leadership Conference for trying to be a leader at his dinner table, getting an entire plate of cookies for him and all his friends," read Kratz to chuckles from the School Committee. "Landon was always a dedicated student and a quiet leader who cared about mastering the content."

LeClair was also recognized for his participation on the school's golf team and for mentoring younger teammates.

"Landon jumped in tutoring the student so thoroughly that the freshman was able to demonstrate proficiency on an assessment despite the missed class time for golf matches," read Kratz.

The principal noted that the school also received feedback from LeClair's co-op employer, who rated him with all fours.

"This week, we sent Landon to our other machine shop to help load and run parts in the CNC mill," his employer wrote to the school. LeClair was so competent the supervisor advised the central shop might not get him back.
