PUTNAM, CT – On Sunday, June 8, Day Kimball Hospital will host Twilight in the Country – a dinner stroll and concert at Greystone Farm in Thompson, CT. A benefit for Hospice and Palliative Care of Northeastern Connecticut, Day Kimball HomeCare and Day Kimball HomeMakers, Twilight in the Country raises funds for the needs of the HomeCare and HomeMaker programs and their clients. The event begins at 5:00 p.m. and admission is $75 per person. Tickets include plentiful hors d’oeuvres, desserts and entertainment; all while strolling picturesque Greystone Farm. A cash wine bar will also be available.

Co-chair and organizer, Paula Schimmel, said, “Most of us, at some point in our lives, have been or will be touched by the incredible work done by Day Kimball’s Homecare based programs. Twilight in the Country gives us an opportunity to assist Hospice, HomeCare and HomeMakers in continuing to make a profound difference in the lives of others.”

While guests enjoy hors d’oeuvres and wine, they will be entertained by the Anders Vercelli Jazz Trio. Following the stroll, guests will be ushered to their seats for a performance by the American Band. The American Band dates back to 1837 and is comprised of more than 50 musicians whose repertoire ranges from the classical to the whimsical; from rousing marches and fiery overtures to gently descriptive pieces and hymns; and from operas to show tunes. The use of Greystone Farm is being generously donated by owners, Robert and Susan Vincent. The farm was established circa 1718, and was originally owned by John Russell.

June Schoppe, co-chair added, “I would like to encourage everyone in the community to attend this magnificent event. The magical combination of fine dining and delightful music against the backdrop of a superb setting is not to be missed.”

The Twilight in the Country Committee includes nine committee members: Co-chairs, Paula Schimmel and June Schoppe, Tori Bates, Betty Church, Barbara Elliott, Carol Emmerthal, Barbara Goloski, Donna Hendrickson, Susan Vincent and Lori Wajer.
