Benefit Dinner a Big Success!!

The benefit dinner held for Bruce Richard on Sunday, June 28 was a great success. Attendence was over 350 people. Through the generousity and hard work of so many individuals, everything went off so well. The food was delicious, judged by the many compliments people were making.

Many thanks to all who supported this event: our volunteer organizations - Harwinton Agricultural Society, Harwinton Lions Club, both Harwinton Volunteer Fire Departments, the Ellis Family who brought the Stagecouch for rides, our vendors who were so generous, the Berkshire bluegrass band who entertained, and all the members & volunteers who gave time, monetary gifts, supplies and other items to make this a wonderful time for Bruce. He couldn't have been more grateful to every one. It was more than a benefit for him. It was an example of a community of people pulling together to help someone in need.

Everyone there had a great time socializing, seeing old friends you hadn't seen and catching on what's been happening. It lets you know there are people out there who still care!

We all wish Bruce continued progress toward getting well and on with his life again. Many thanks again to all who participated, supported, and attended the dinner.
