Elmer J. Fuller Memorial Golf Tournament  
The AFCEA International Lexington-Concord Chapter will host the Elmer J. Fuller Memorial Golf Tournament June 9 at the Marlborough Country Club in Marlborough, Massachusetts. The annual tournament honors Elmer Fuller, a longtime supporter of the Hanscom AFB community and former president and chairman of the AFCEA Lexington-Concord Chapter. Fuller also served as president and a member of the Marlborough Country Club Board of Directors.

The event will feature a scramble-format tournament with three flights, including a championship flight, secondary flight and mentorship flight. Organizers will award the Elmer Fuller Trophy to the low gross scramble team and the Al Hart Trophy to the top AFCEA mentorship team, which consists of senior and junior military, government civilian and industry personnel.

Tournament proceeds support AFCEA fellowship and ROTC awards programs. Registration fees vary by category, with discounted rates available for junior military members, government civilians and Young AFCEAN participants. The registration and sponsorship deadline is June 6.

Virtual deskside stretch sessions offered 
Air Force Civilian Health Promotion Services officials are offering virtual "deskside stretch" sessions to promote workplace wellness and reduce common musculoskeletal issues.

The live, 20-minute sessions are held weekly on Tuesdays through May 12 at 1 p.m. via Microsoft teams. The guided routines focus on simple stretches designed to address concerns such as carpal tunnel symptoms, hip tightness and poor posture. The sessions are facilitated by Civilian Health Promotion Services personnel and are open to participants with access to the Teams platform. Exercises are designed to be performed at a desk and easily incorporated into a daily routine.
