The Clubhouse was the site earlier this week of a fundraiser to benefit Statesboro police Officer Adam Paquette. While on duty back in March, Paquette was rushed to the hospital in Savannah and underwent emergency open heart surgery for an aortic valve replacement. Paquette’s recovery will keep him off-duty for several months.
