Virginia Gold Cup Horse Races

The Connecticut Society enjoyed our annual all day outing to the beautiful rolling Virginia countryside to view a traditional steeplechase race.  A charter bus took members and their guests on a 45-minute scenic drive to the beautiful Great Meadow in The Plains, where Nutmeggers received admission to our rail side chalet tent, featuring a premier view of the action, catered food, and lots of drinks!

Community Service

The Connecticut Society joined Hands on DC for their 2008 work-a-thon. On Saturday, April 26, Society members helped to clean up the grounds of Bunker Hill Elementary School and paint the fence. They worked with Hands on DC, an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation that runs an annual one day work-a-thon that improves conditions in the public schools and raises money for college scholarships. Since 1994 more than 26,000 volunteers have created a better environment for learning in over 120 schools and have collected more than $500,000 to help local students pay for further education.
