| The tournament’s success depended not only on the golfers, but also on the many volunteers and sponsors, and we’d like to take this opportunity to thank them. | 2004 Golf Tournament Raises Over $6000 NSCIA CT Chapter Conn Cord: Fall/Winter 2004 On a beautiful September 9, 2003, over 100 golfers charged the Robert Trent Jones course at Lyman Orchards Golf Club for the 4th Annual Wheeling and Able Golf Classic. This year’s tournament netted over $6,000 to fund the Spinal Cord Injury Resource Center, located at 2120 Corbin Avenue in New Britain with computers, a television, VCR and other educational materials. Bill Mancini, Chapter President, played from a specially designed golf cart with Emcee and Co-chair Brad Field from WVIT-Channel 30, association founder Dr. Philip Arnold, and Eastern Rehabilitation Network’s Ed Tantorski. The tournament’s success depended not only on the golfers, but also on the many volunteers and sponsors, and we’d like to take this opportunity to thank them. Assisting Brad Field on the Committee was Diane Smith of WTIC-AM Newstalk1080.

Other Committee members from the Association included Cathy Andersen, Jennifer Bartiss-Earley, Caitlin DePalma, Jeff Dion, Cathie Feeney, Dave Herron, Jayne Kleinman, Gino Mancini, Karen McDonald, Bob Nolan, Tracie Stanton and Rebecca Stoddard.
