On Wednesday, October 9th, 2024, the Connecticut Assisted Living Association (CALA) hosted its 20th Annual Red Delicious Golf Tournament at the Lyman Orchards, home to the prestigious Robert Trent Jones Signature Golf Course, in Middlefield, Connecticut. We’re happy to report that the event was a tremendous success!
Residents and staff of numerous CALA communities were able to play with skilled golfers and other industry professionals from across the state, all in support of CALA’s mission to promote excellence in senior living. The event kicked off with attendees starting at different holes to compete for various prizes, including the exciting “Hole in One” prize: a brand-new Mustang! We are excited to congratulate this year’s champions, the Sentic team—Ben Otfinoski, Ryan Scott, Anthony Pascuzzi, and Jared Loper—for their exceptional skill and unwavering dedication. After the tournament, attendees enjoyed fun contests, drinks from Litchfield Distillery, a delicious awards banquet, and plenty of networking opportunities!
