A pasta fund raiser was held
Thursday, August 26 hosted by the Manchester Lodge to benefit
the victims of the August 3 shooting tragedy at Hartford
Distributor's Inc. located in Manchester, CT. Nearly 600 people
were in attendance that evening and raised over $13,000 – and
the donations are still coming in. We would like to
thank the individuals, the Town of Manchester and over 80
businesses who contributed food, services and prizes. There
were 45 Elk volunteers and approximately 35 non-Elk volunteers
including representatives from the Teamsters Local #1035,
Chartwells-School Dining Service, Scot Haney and Teresa
LaBarbera from WFSB, Emblem Club #251, Mayor Louis Spadaccini
and Deputy Mayor Leo Diana, and friends and co-workers from
Hartford Distributors. A 'tip of the antlers' goes out to Linda
Sherman, Lodge Permittee, who spearheaded the event. We enjoyed
the company and support of visiting Elks from Hamden, New
Britain, Willimantic, Wallingford, Windsor and
Wethersfield/Rocky Hill. Check out this video report from NBC
Connecticut News featuring Phil Stender PER.
On
June 19, Manchester CT Lodge No. 1893 held a “Goofy Golf”
tournament sponsored by the veterans committee of the
lodge. The event raised $500 and benefits local veterans;
specifically transitional veterans housed at the Michael J.
Dinda House located in Manchester, CT. With 45 golfers,
including two residents from the Dinda House, players were
able to tee off with a baseball bat, drive down the fairway
with a tennis racket and sink a putt with a pool cue and
croquet mallet! Some players even dressed goofy to play; we
had a ballerina, Hawaiian dancer, and a very dapper looking
gentleman dressed in old fashioned golf gear – complete with
knickers!
