Golf fund-raiser set
The Pomfret Community School Class of 2024 is having a charity Golf Tournament at 11 a.m. June 25 at the Dudley Hill Golf Club at Nichols College.
It’s a shotgun scramble tournament and its $100 per person. LMT Oil in Charlton is the main sponsor. There will be a closest to the pin and longest drive contest with prizes. Big Boy’s Toys in Pomfret is sponsoring a hole-in-one contest with a chance to win a Landmaster Utility Vehicle.
The tournament proceeds will benefit the students of Pomfret Community School Class of 2024 — more than 40 students — who will travel to Washington, D.C., next May. This is an annual trip PCS students, teachers and parent chaperones have done every year for at least 40 years, except for the COVID years. Atticus Paine is the second generation of “Pomfret-ite” that will go on the journey. His father, Travis Paine, PCS Class of 1993, and his brother, Seth Paine, PCS Class of 1987 both remember their trips to D.C. fondly. “It’s the first time as a kid that we traveled somewhere, without our parents, and experienced life outside the walls of Pomfret,” said Travis Paine. “It’s a unique experience,” he said.
The golf tournament is open to all, golfer or not! They will also welcome sponsors and donations. For additional information please see the website: www.pcsgolffordc.org.
