The 3rd Annual “Tee Party” Mini-Golf Tournament was held at Parsonage Cottage Senior Residence on Sunday, June 4, enjoyed by over 200 people, raising funds and awareness for the critical services provided to older adults at Parsonage.

Members of the Junior Advisory Board include Co-Chairmen Robby Duncan and William Duncan of Brunswick School, Luke Hublitz, Brendan Davey, and Whip Gorman, also of Brunswick School, and Gavin Haroche of Greenwich Country Day School. Parsonage Cottage Board members Mimi Santry and Park Duncan, who also serve on the Parsonage Cottage Fundraising Board, support them.
Lunch was provided by Walter’s Hot Dog Truck and Gofer’s Ice Cream, and the music of James Daniel Entertainment DJ entertained attendees. Event Sponsors included Assisted Living Locators LCB Senior Living (The Residences at Selleck’s Woods, Summer Street, and Westport) and Splash Car Wash.

The teams competed for prizes, which included gift certificates by Beyond Beautiful by Melissa, Little Pub, Bella Nonna Restaurant & Pizza, and Gofer Ice Cream.
