Dual Chamber Golf Outing Tees Off October 7

The Newtown and Monroe Chambers of Commerce are set to host their 2nd Annual Golf Outing on Wednesday, October 7, at Whitney Farms Golf Course in Monroe.

Building on the great success of last year’s event, the business support from chamber members has been outstanding. This year’s title sponsor is Union Savings Bank. Additional support has been provided by Newtown Savings Bank, People’s United Bank, Berkshire Motors, and Katherine’s Kitchen.

There is a limit of 140 players for this tournament. Golfers can participate in foursomes or as individuals. Companies and individuals can also help by sponsoring holes, tees, golf carts, and refreshments for the event.

There are also individual prize hole sponsors for Closest to the Line, Closest to the Pin, and Longest Drive. Nonplaying individuals can attend the Business After Hours, which begins with cocktails at 4:30 pm and dinner at 5:30.

Awards and prizes will be distributed for first, second, closest to the line, closest to the pin, and longest drive for men and women.

Registration is open to the public. Entry fees are $140 and include lunch, greens fees, and the Business After Hours. Nongolfers are welcome to attend the Business After Hours for $30. Reservations and prepayment are required for golf and lunch. 

A dedicated group of volunteers is helping to plan this year’s tournament, including Newtown Chamber President Peter Giarratano, Carole Georges of People’s United Bank, Maureen Birden of Newtown Savings Bank, Joanie Howard of the News-Times, and Monroe Chamber President Teri Rotella
