Falmouth Rotary Golf Tournament
Thank you to Participants and Sponsors for a Successful 1st Annual Golf Tournament
Over 120 golfers enjoyed a wonderful day on the links of Pocasset Country Club on Flag Day despite a rain delay of passing showers. The first ever golf tournament was co-sponsored by the Rotary Club of Falmouth and Joe Q Veteran Coffee Break. Participants were treated to a special first time event of a flyover by the US Coast Guard Rescue Helicopter followed by a rousing rendition of the national anthem. Golfers also had the opportunity to honor the Veterans in their lives by purchasing honor flags which displayed their name, rank, branch of service and photo. These flags were placed on the tee boxes through out the course. The turnout of golfers and sponsors exceeded the first year expectations! A special thank you to major sponsors Martha's Vineyard Bank, KEESolutions/Lynch JV, Petrocelli Public Insurance Adjusters, Wareham Ford and Gosnold for sponsoring the event! The golfers included individuals from the Upper Cape and Eastern Massachusetts. A heartfelt thank you goes out to each and every individual who played in the tournament It was a wonderful way for two organizations to pool volunteers and resources to honor veterans, and raise funds to support veterans and their families and the projects of the Rotary Club of Falmouth. It was also a special day for Brian Madden who had a hole-in-one on the sixth hole. Plans are underway to hold the tournament in 2022 on the same date and location. The golf tournament is an enjoyable way to kick off the summer season while supporting community Veteran outreach programs and people. Stay tuned for 2022.

About Us
We're building an all-inclusive Veteran community that promotes fellowship where Veterans will be comfortable seeking support and informational services, and developing the services today’s Upper Cape Cod-area Veterans and their families need.
Last year, Joe Q Veteran Coffee Break worked on building its volunteer corps, codifying foundational documents, and establishing priorities and processes for the development of Veteran programs. At the November 2019 Town Meeting, the group launched the initiative to repurpose the former senior center facility at 300 Dillingham Ave. in Falmouth as a community Veterans center. This effort aims to provide a meeting place and hub for Veterans and family members in the Falmouth area to receive information, advice and coordinated services—and enjoy a cup of coffee together.

Here's how the CARES Act changes deducting charitable contributions made in 2021:
Prior to 2020, charitable contributions could only be deducted if taxpayers itemized their deductions.
In 2021, taxpayers who don't itemize deductions may take a charitable deduction of up to $300 for cash contributions made in 2021 to qualifying organizations; in 2021 the limit is increased to $600 for joint filers.
During the summer & fall of 2020, Joe Q Veteran Coffee Break has been building its volunteer corps, codifying foundational documents, and establishing priorities and processes for the development of veteran programs. The vision is to provide a meeting place and hub for Veterans and family members in the area to receive information, advice and coordinated services—and even enjoy a cup of coffee together.
