Guest Bartender and general surgeon,
Dr. Ron Franzino jumped behind the bar to pour drinks in support of the Well-Wishers, and the Oncology-Hematology Clinic at Day Kimball Hospital in 2006.

PUTNAM, CT –The Day Kimball Hospital Well-Wishers will host their second annual Guest Bartender Night on Monday, August 6 from 4:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the Courthouse Bar & Grille in Putnam.  Local celebrities will pour drinks and collect tips to benefit the Day Kimball Hospital Rose Bove LaRose Oncology-Hematology Clinic.  In addition to the Guest Bartender Night, the Well-Wishers will also host the 6th Annual Block Party in Putnam’s Rotary Park from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, August 11 with all proceeds benefiting Day Kimball’s Oncology Department.

The line-up of guest bartenders includes: Mayor Robert Viens, Ron Franzino and Dr. Steven Raheb from the 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. hour; “Nuns” Linda Collangelo, Donna Lahaie and Tanya Brock from the 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. hour; Gary “O” Osbrey, Karen Osbrey and Willie Bousquet from the 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. hour; Delpha Very, Mike Bogdanski and David Conrad from the 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. hour; and Steve Faucher, Rick McGhee and Ronald Coderre from the 8:00 to 9:00 p.m. hour.  Stay tuned for more surprise guests!

"The Well-Wishers Guest Bartender Night at The Courthouse Bar and Grille is a wonderful event.  The continued generosity of people throughout northeast Connecticut (and beyond) is greatly appreciated,” said Dr. Jeffrey Gordon, medical director of Day Kimball Hospital Oncology/Hematology Clinic.  “It strongly supports what we do in the Rose Bove LaRose Hematology-Oncology Clinic each and every day: care for people with cancer or blood disorders.  Our patients and their families get strength from knowing that people in their community are helping them.  Thank you to everyone who has been a part of the Well-Wishers and who have been attending all of the fundraising events throughout the year."

The Day Kimball Hospital Well-Wishers is a fundraising group, consisting of dozens of members.  The members are not only employees of Day Kimball Hospital, but are from the community as well. Because the Well-Wishers fundraising efforts have evolved to include the hospital’s Rose Bove LaRose Oncology-Hematology Clinic as the main recipient of their good work, many more advancements have been made for patients. Their philosophy is to organize fun events, in which the entire community can participate, all while helping a good cause.  Popular fundraising events have included variety show follies, the Block Party following the Deary Memorial Race & Walk in August, book sales and basket raffles.

“We hope this year’s Guest Bartender Night will surpass the success of last year’s,” said Barbara Chubbuck, Well-Wisher and administrative assistant for the ICU and laboratory.  “Last year, the Courthouse was filled with loving and generous people.  Everyone enjoyed themselves, and we were able to collect a lot of tips for a great cause. This is yet another example of the generosity of the people in our community.”
