A full field of 96 golfers played to raise funds for Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 399 at Longshore Golf Course in Westport, CT on June 12.
“This year’s VFW Post 399 charity golf tournament was held yesterday at Longshore Golf Course in Westport. The annual fundraiser could not have achieved our goal without the generous support of our golfers, sponsors, Auxiliary volunteers and donors,” said VFW Post 399 Quartermaster, Phil Delgado.
“We are sincerely grateful for all the support yesterday to help us serve our veterans and community,” wrapped up Delgado, a Navy veteran.
Located at 465 Riverside Avenue and open to the public, Westport’s VFW Post are veterans serving the community in many ways:
“Jazz Night” weekly host on Thursdays, office hours for CT Veteran Service Officers on Wednesdays and Thursdays, monthly Red Cross Blood Drives (36 straight months to date!), and open houses and ceremonies on Memorial Day and Veterans Day. Besides partnering with community institutions like the PAL, Fire Department, Westport Weston Family Y, Westport Senior and Chamber of Commerce, the local VFW is involved with youth activities in schools, scouts and sports teams.
The Post has three different small to large rooms with Saugatuck River views that can be reserved as well, for functions up to 200 people.
