OLD LYME — The Old Lyme Democratic Town Committee (DTC) held its inaugural Corn Hole Friend-Raiser for charity on Aug. 27. The Old Lyme DTC selected Connecticut Foodshare to receive the proceeds from the well-attended event.
Held on the lovely grounds of Katherine and Ben Thuma’s home, over 40 people joined members of the Old Lyme DTC and candidates Martha Marx, 20th District Senate seat, and Colin Heffernan, 23rd House seat, for competition and fun. Eight teams battled for the Corn Hole trophy. The competition was fierce and ultimately the father-daughter team “It’s Not A Thuma” took home the coveted prize.
The Old Lyme DTC was pleased to be able to present a check in the amount of $1000 to Connecticut Foodshare. “At this time of year especially, we are so grateful for all of our supporters around the state of Connecticut.” said Bev Catchpole, Chief Giving Officer at Connecticut Foodshare.
The Old Lyme DTC Chair, Mary Jo Nosal, noted, “It was such a good way to meet new neighbors and families. I am proud of the Old Lyme DTC for finding a creative and fun way to reach out to bring people in the community together while helping to address food insecurity in Connecticut.”
She added, “The Old Lyme DTC welcomes everyone to learn more about the Old Lyme DTC at http://www.oldlymedtc.com.“
