The Connecticut Carwash Association's 10th Annual Golf Classic, September 18, at Tunxis Plantation Country Club, Farmington, CT, drew nearly 90 golfers to the picturesque course outside of Hartford. The event, the association's 10 Annual Classic, included a fashionable Holloway golf pullover to commemorate the milestone, according to CCA Vice President Tony Setaro. "We decided as a board to spend a little money on a really nice giveaway to acknowledge the event and the 10 years of hard work we have put into this outing."
Setaro attributed much of the success of the event to Chairperson Tom Mathes and his team of volunteers including JJ Listro, Frank Gaglio, Jeff McIntyre and Rick DiCiccio. "It's such a team effort to pull all of this together," said Setaro. "It's a labor of love that proves to be a great event year after year."
The event, which includes a morning coffee break, lunch on the course, hors d'oeuvres and a steak and steamer dinner saw nearly 90 golfers enjoy 18 holes on a simply picture-perfect day. "It's just a great event," said Mark Curtis, former CCA President. "This type of outing is something we look forward to every year. It affords us a day away from the wash, and some great exchanges with fellow operators."
Key to the event's success is the outpouring of sponsors who support the CCA. These included:
