Hello Tri-Staters!
Whoa! I was not ready for this heat, again. How do you keep cool, what are some of your tricks? I like to set up a chair at the edge of a kiddie pool with ice cold water, and soak my feet! It brings my body temp down in a matter of moments.
The last time it was this warm we were all at the 25th Annual Murphy Open Golf Tournament at the Links at UnionVale in N.Y. Not all of us made it the whole day, but those who did had a great time!
Overall winning team was Don Najdek, John O'Connell, Dan Swift and Ronnie Reed with a score of 61.
Second Place was Bill Anstett, Brett, Ron Jacko and Scott Simmons with a score of 64.
Third Place was Kendra Chapman, Josh Driver, Dave Boyer and Ed Kirby with a score of 65. This was also the Black Rabbit team that took the Restaurant Division.
And bringing up the rear with the Most Honest score we had Bobby SNowden, Sumner Ireland, Fred Stevenson and Brandon Stevenson with a card of 92.
Despite the heat, spirits were high at the luncheon and awards, where Lisa Duntz The Miracle Worker kept a bidding war going over the auction package, ultimately pulling in $2000 from the highest bidder! Way to go Lisa!
This in addition to the raffle, silent auction, greens fees and mulligans filled the Murphy Open account nicely, and we will be issuing checks to local food pantries to the tune of $5000! This is the most we have been able to give since taking the reigns of this great event back in 2016. We look forward to planning next year’s tournament, growing the field of golfers, expanding sponsorships and donations and writing bigger checks to help local organizations needing help.
Thank you to everyone who made this year’s Murphy Open Golf Tournament a success!

Off the Track
There’s the short time your car’s on the track when you’re in complete control… and then there’s all the time when it’s in storage, in transit, in the paddock or somewhere else. With Hagerty, you can protect your raced vehicles where they spend most of their time and see the most risk: off of the track.
Hagerty is an enthusiastic partner of Lime Rock, and we’re more than confident in recommending their motorsports coverage to protect all kinds of raced vehicles. That includes race cars, dragsters, funny cars, pro street, raced motorcycles and more. Bonus: they automatically include $750 in spare parts coverage.

On the Track
Get coverage where standard carriers won’t with HPDE/Track Day protection. Hagerty offers essential coverage for your car for physical damage, both on the track and in the paddock, when you participate in HPDE and time trial events. Quoting takes 30 seconds or less.

The 6/29 Salisbury Rotary Club luncheon at Noble Horizons featured the Changing of the Guard with outgoing Club President Peter Fitting passing the gavel to the Club’s new President, Ann Beizer. Noting the COVID-related challenges of the past year that limited club activities and fundraisers, Fitting highlighted examples of successes like adding three new members, easy access to weekly ZOOM meetings with good speakers, and distributing thousands of face masks to local nursing homes, schools, and other orgs. Also inducted for the coming Rotary year were (L to R) VP Bill Spalding, Secretary Marie Castagna, and new Board Member Rick DelPrete.

And don’t forget the Rotary-sponsored Fireworks at LRP Saturday with the proceeds supporting local scholarships, local non-profit orgs, and other “good works.”

THE GOOD FAIRIES
Imagine walking along a sylvan path. Suddenly you break through into a glade and there, in front of you, is an elegant little repast laid out on a low table with flowers, candelabras, fine china and linens. It is truly a Goldilocks moment but this discovery is sure to be just the right size each time.

Henry IV with The Hotchkiss School's Shakespeare Teacher
Join The Hotchkiss School’s veteran Shakespeare teacher Jim Fornshell for an engrossing and entertaining study of Shakespeare’s popular play Henry IV. The free course begins on Tuesday, July 6th from 2-3 pm and runs for 5-weeks through August 3rd via Zoom.
Henry IV is filled with humor, action, battles, and endearing characters, including the iconic Falstaff. Among the themes it explores are the burden of power, old age, and atonement for the past.
Jim Fornshell earned a B.A. in English from Hamilton College, an M.Ed. from Harvard University, and an M.Litt. in Shakespeare studies from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. He has taught Shakespeare at Hotchkiss for over two decades, served as co-chair of the Hotchkiss English Department, and has held the Arthur White Teaching Chair. Registration is at https://noblehorizons.org/events/shakespeare-henry-iv/
Enjoy Audrey Silver’s Cool Jazz on a Warm Summer Evening
On Friday, July 9th at 7 pm, Noble Horizons will host a pond side concert with jazz recording artist Audrey Silver, who will be accompanied by a pianist and trombonist. Silver has been called one of the most elegantly creative singers in jazz today, known for creative interpretations of musical theater classics, pop, jazz and original songs.
According to Hot House Jazz, “Audrey Silver’s voice is exquisite. Warm and inviting, pairing a velvet-laden timbre with impeccable phrasing, her vocal technique is a case study in making extraordinary artistry seem effortless.” Audrey is known for her jazz, pop, musical theater favorites, and original song performances. JazzTiimes called her “A staple of the club scene,” while All About Jazz wrote, “Her voice is an open invitation, an instrument of confession and creation that immediately transports you to someplace else… Sophisticated, classic.
Guests are welcome to bring their own chairs/blankets or request a table reservation. All guests reserving a table must RSVP by July 5th at or calling 860-435-9851. The grounds will open at 6:30 pm rain or shine! (Enjoy beautiful views from the indoor performance venue. If weather forces the event indoors, all attending must be vaccinated and screened, per Department of Public Health guidelines.) Please register at https://noblehorizons.org/events/audrey-silver/ to reserve a table.
