A beautiful fall day provided the perfect backdrop for the return of the Ron Hance Memorial Golf Classic at Rutland Country Club on Monday, September 14. Named in honor of Heritage Family Credit Union's former CEO, who led the organization for 36 years until his retirement in 2014, the tournament raised more than $45,000 for the Heritage Family Cares 4 You Foundation, which will distribute the funds to local nonprofit organizations throughout the Rutland community.
