Greetings!
April has been a month in which we made presentations to organizations and businesses across Connecticut, as well as a couple of trips to the State Capitol to work with our Legislators and garner support for our male and female Veterans.
May is shaping up to be an even busier month as our
15th Annual Golf Classic
tees off on May 21 at Brooklawn Country Club while the inaugural
Park City Classic Road Race
follows closely thereafter on Sunday, May 26. Full details can be found below in this issue of
The Perimeter
and we look forward to seeing many of you at one or both of these events.
