Wintonbury Hills Golf Course, 206 Terry Plain Road, (860) 242-1401 www.wintonburyhillsgolf.com, Bloomfield
We started 6 years ago as a way for two congregations, Emanuel Synagogue and Kol Haverim, to collaborate in a fun way to raise funds. As nice as that is, the feeling of community is just as rewarding. 3 years ago we were proud to add Beth El. Every year we are looking for ways to improve the tournament and this year is no different. You will notice a new dinner menu and, once again, a chance to win $10,000 in a putting contest.
This year, we are pleased to welcome back as guest host, Brad Drazen of Channel 30 news. Brad can be seen bright and early every weekday morning as the co-anchor of NBC Connecticut News Today. Brad is a strong supporter of the Jewish Community and welcomed the opportunity to help three area synagogues….and PLAY GOLF!
