Dear members,
We just were informed that 2 of our local soccer shoot participants placed first at the regionals today in Connecticut. Harper Willey U8 and Arya Denham U10 both won their perspective divisions.
These young ladies got first place at our qualifier this past September. Then in mid October, they traveled up to St Albans, Vt to compete against the winners of all the lodges in the state. This weekend they traveled to Connecticut to compete against the best players from Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut.
We would like to thank the members of Bennington lodge 567 for their continued support for our lodge youth activity program.
See you in early January at our Hoop Shoot.
Sincerely
Bennington Lodge 567 youth activities committee
l-r: Harper Willey and Arya Denham
