If you hadn't already heard, there is going to be a fund raiser dinner for Bruce Richard, our past president. Bruce has been going through some very serious medical problems since his knee surgery in October, 2008. He has not been able to return to work and is looking at at least one more year of rehabilitation and recuperation. His medical insurance has expired and will now have to pay for his own coverage.
On Sunday, June 28, 2009 there will be a steak dinner being served from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Harwinton Fairgrounds. The cost is $20.00 per person. The dinner will consist of a rib eye steak, baked potato, corn on the cob, salad, rolls and desert. Beverages will be served along with the dinner. We will have bluegrass music to entertain us.
This is being made possible because of the help from our two Harwinton fire departments, the Harwinton Lions Club and the Harwinton Agricultural Society along with many other individuals who have come forward to volunteer their time and donate both monetary & material items. This effort is what community support is all about. If you would like to purchase tickets please contact any of these organizations or call Paul Schweitzer at (860)485-0485 or Jack Comporesi at (860)485-9021. Tickets will be available through June 19th. If you would like to give us a hand with this event, we definitely will appreciate anything you can do.
Bruce has been active in our community for many years and has given so much. It's time to pay him back and let him know he has our support.
