The UNA USA Southwestern Connecticut Chapter has been hosting United Nations Staff, Delegates and Agencies at June Day for 58 years. Please come and be honored guests for a day in Westport, a unique New England small town.

WELCOME:  We’ll check you in at Jesup Green in Downtown Westport CT along the Saugatuck River after 9:00 AM. We’ll have a boxed breakfast and a special June Day gift for you.  This year we are partnering with Westport Sunrise Rotary and there will be activities for the kids and a giant yellow duck! This year for the first time we will have a non-profit marketplace featuring artisans. There will be a brief ceremony at 10:30 AM.  

The rest of your day is yours.  We have a few ideas…. 

• Soccer: The UN Team will face off against the Westport Knights at 11:30 at Saugatuck Elementary School (1/2 mile from check in). Contact Brock Hotaling at bhotaling@assured-it.com for more information.

• Tennis courts have been set aside for you and some local hosts. Bring your own racket. Our volunteers will set up the games from 11:15 – 4:00 at Longshore Club Park. Pizza and drinks will be provided. Contact Brock Hotaling at bhotaling@assured-it.com for more information. 

• Golf is available for experienced golfers at the Longshore Golf Club, one of New England’s best courses. Meet at Longshore Club House at 12:30 for lunch and a start time at 1:30. (Greens fees and cart rentals are extra). There will be golf prizes. Contact Bill Hass at 203-454-7685, 203-434-6609 or hassbj@aol.com.  longshoregolfcourse.com

• The Duck Race:  Westport Sunrise Rotary will have its annual Duck Race at Jesup Green at 1:00 PM and our June Day guests are invited! There are activities in the morning for kids, including a Makerspace, arts and crafts, and of course the Duck Race. You can have a duck in the race too by purchasing a duck raffle ticket. The “fastest” ducks win cash prizes. Click here to purchase a duck. (all proceeds go to charity)

• Wakeman Town Farm: a bus will leave from Jesup Green to the Farm at 1:45. You can also drive there. The farm is a model of sustainability and there are lots of animals for kids to meet, including alpacas, goats and chickens. wakemantownfarm.org

• Compo Beach is a destination in itself with a great playground, snack bar and lifeguarded beach. For non-residents, the weekend daily pass is $70 – but we have free access for you today. You can pick up your parking pass at registration.

• Town Pool: Westport’s three pools on Long Island Sound are available to visitors today. The pools are located near the tennis courts.
