American Legion golf tourney was a success
PUTNAM — Putnam’s Mayotte-Viens American Legion  Post 13 held its annual golf tournament recently and raised an excellent amount of money for its programs.
Twenty-seven foursomes completed the 18 hole course at Connecticut National. According to Post 13 Commander Michael Rocchetti: “The Golf Tournament is one of our most important annual fund-raising events and a primary source of income for the Post. There was a great turnout, and the support, and generosity of our local community is evident! It’s nice to know that the community appreciates the work our American Legion Post is doing for the local community.” 
This year, the focus of the golf tournament was twofold – to honor the legacy of Putnam’s only Congressional Medal of Honor recipient – U.S. Navy submariner Henry Breault, and to establish and fund an endowment for veterans scholarships at CT State Community College: Quinebaug Valley.
Brian Maynard, a past Post 13 commander, served as the chairman of the Golf Committee and put together a team that included Ed Morissette, Cara Mooney, Shayna O’Brien, Emma Prindle, Mike Vasar, Earl Rosebrooks, Chas MacKenzie, and Nick Patel.
Maynard said, “This was an all-star team – highly motivated and very dedicated to making the event a success.” Maynard also congratulated the tournament winning foursome of Northeast Flooring & Kitchens (Alec Foucalt, Josh Rice, Andrew Senecal, and Chris Lajoie),  with a score of 55, which is 17 under par.
Before the teams tee’d off Maynard spoke about the importance of the Legion’s programs in Putnam, and the postive impact they have on the local community. He also expressed sincere gratitude for the primary tournament sponsors which included Big Garry’s Discount Liquors, and The Supported Living Group. “We also thank all of the other spnsors including our “Colonel-level” Sponsors: Roger Franklin, The HILB Group, EDS Mechanical, FCT Inc (Earl Rosebrooks), and Northeast Kitchens and Floring [George Amenabar]. Our “Major-level” sponsors included: Jewitt City Savings Bank, Michael Rocchetti, Waste Inovations, Service Master by Mason, Downes Construction, Michael Losasso, Arbella (Marie Glaude), A Block Away Construction LLC, Delta Dental (James Cannon), KIllingly glass, Venture Communications & Security, Beacon Mutual Insurance, and Bank Hometown. Special thanks also to our many tee sponsors: Kevin Lengyel & Associates LLC, Krolln Kutz, Rawson Materials, Putnam Police Department, Tee Sign in honor of Alan-Scott Herman, D & S Construction, Quinn Family, Mark Brule [in honor of Thomas Brule USMC], Unicorr Packaging, Spirol International Co., Bachand Longo & Higgins, Baker’s Dozen, and Sunny’s Discount Liquors.
Rocchetti added: “We are also thankful for the many donations we received for raffle prizes, and for the people who came out today to golf at our tournament. It’s just overwhelming we exceeded our expectations! How lucky we are to live in such a great community!”
He added, “Putnam’s American Legion Post 13 has been active in our community since 1919. This veteran’s organization stands on four pillars - Veterans Affairs and Rehabilitation, National Security, Americanism, and Children and Youth. The Legion has a wide variety of related programs that directly support our local community.”
