Brothers and Sisters,

On September 6, 2023 Hartford Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 30 lost a great friend, brother and 2nd Vice President Robert "Bobby" Garten. Detective Robert “Bobby” Garten was a true hero who dedicated his life to serving and protecting others. In his honor, Hartford Fraternal Order of Police, Lodge 30 has created the 1781 Golf Classic, an event to continue his legacy of compassion and generosity. Our goal is to raise funds annually to help benefit both active and retired Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 30 members by creating The Fraternal Order of Police Health and Wellness fund. Additionally, we have created the 1781 Scholarship. The 1781 Scholarship fund will be used to provide scholarship opportunities to help further education for active Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 30 members and/or their children. Please consider joining us on Monday, July 1st at Tumble Brook Country Club in Bloomfield, CT for a day of golf to help us honor and continue Bobby's legacy of dedication and service to others.

Please see the attached 1781 Golf Classic flyer for further information regarding date, times, pricing, and sponsorship opportunities. Please feel free to forward this to anyone you may think would be interested in either playing in or sponsoring this event.

Thank you for your continued support and we hope to see you on the links.
