United Congregational Church of Tolland sponsoring Rock Cats Baseball Game Fundraiser

A special reserved seat section of the Rock Cats stadium in New Britain has been set up by the United Congregational Church of Tolland (UCCT) for the June 1 game at 1:35 vs the Binghamton Mets. This Family Day game will honor the memory of Mrs Barbara Phelps who taught Sunday School at the church for over 50 years and worked with young children at the Tolland Green Learning Center (TGLC) for over 20 years.  Both of these learning venues use the Christian Education Building behind the church on Tolland Green, which is being renamed as the “Barbara Phelps Christian Education Building”.  A portion of the proceeds from the game will be used for re-doing the signage for the building.

Tickets are $10 and need to be purchased beforehand from the church; children under 4 are free.  For more information, call the church office at 860-875-4160 or email Amie Giguere (agiguere@ucctolland.org).

All friends of Barbara, the UCCT, and/or the TGLC are encouraged to sign up for the ball game.  Barbara had a great love for sports of all kinds; we can share in that love and honor her, as well as have a great time at this “Take Me Out To The Ball Game” Fundraiser.
