Lyman Orchards Golf Club

Ädelbrook Behavioral and Developmental Services, a 125-year-old nonprofit organization dedicated to serving more than 400 individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders, Intellectual, and Developmental Disabilities, will host its 30th Annual Golf for Kids Tournament on September 10th at Lyman Orchards Golf Course in Middlefield, CT. This signature event raises critical funds that allow Ädelbrook to continue providing high-quality care, programs, and services for the individuals and families they serve. 

The Golf for Kids Tournament will take place on Thursday, September 10th at Lyman Golf Course. Check-in for participants will begin at 8:00 a.m. During the event, participants will enjoy a morning of golf on Lyman Orchard’s Jones Course, exciting raffles, a putting contest, a silent auction, and more. We are also proud to welcome Alyssa Taglia from Good Morning Connecticut as our Master of Ceremonies, helping to make the day even more special. Most importantly, attendees will learn about Ädelbrook’s impactful 125-year-old history of providing hope and healing for youth and young adults with autism across Connecticut. 

With the support of community partners and advocates like you, Ädelbrook will be able to raise funds to enrich the lives of the incredible individuals we serve. Whether you join us as a golfer, for our dinner program, or become a sponsor, the Golf for Kids’ Tournament is a chance to give back, have fun, and make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve. 
Last year, Ädelbrook’s Golf for Kids Tournament raised over $70,000, allowing Ädelbrook to expand access to activities and services, serve more individuals in need through the ÄdelbrookCARES food pantry, and support 28 students who graduated from Ädelbrook Academy with the Class of 2026. Funds raised from this year’s event will continue to empower youth and young adults with the tools, resources, and support needed to reach their full potential.

Rocky Hill Congregational Church

Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove at Rocky Hill Congregational Church October 4: FREE
Nationally known author and activist Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove will speak on the ways religion has been manipulated to support an authoritarian political movement in the U.S. Oct. 4 at Rocky Hill Congregational Church.
All are welcome at this free event. No tickets are needed.
Wilson-Hartgrove, a prominent voice in today’s moral movements for justice and democracy, will address how communities can strengthen democracy rather than undermine it. 
Wilson-Hartgrove is co-author of the Substack “<a href="https://ourmoralmoment.substack.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Our Moral Moment</a>” with <a href="https://www.theologyandpolicy.yale.edu/bishop-william-j-barber-ii" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Bishop William Barber</a>, author of 15 books, and is a highly sought-after speaker.
“We’re living through a moment when people are searching for clarity and courage,” said Rev. David Figliuzzi, RHCC’s pastor. “Jonathan’s work helps communities understand what’s happening and how we can respond in ways that build connection rather than deepen division.”
“This talk is for anyone – religious or non-religious – who is concerned that the U.S. is becoming more authoritarian, that democratic norms are eroding, and who want to know what they can do about it,” Figliuzzi said. 
Rocky Hill Congregational Church, which celebrates its 300th
anniversary in 2027, is a progressive United Church of Christ. The event reflects its ongoing commitment to actively working for justice in the community and beyond. 
Event Details Date: Friday, October 4 Time:
4:00 PM Location: Rocky Hill Congregational Church, 805 Old Main St., Rocky Hill Cost: Free and open to the public
