News & EventsMembers of the Moosup VFW Host Fundraiser in Memory of Vietnam War Veteran for Hospice
PUTNAM, CT – On September 19, 2007, members of the Moosup VFW presented a check for $1500 to Hospice and Palliative Care of Northeastern CT in memory of Roger Houle, who died on Hospice in August of this year. As a “thank you” to Hospice, the Danielson Lions Club helped the Moosup VFW put on a dance to raise money for Hospice. Nearly 130 people danced the night away while enjoying salty snacks provided by Frito Lay, as well as beverages and raffle prizes that were also generously donated. Frank Mackie, long time friend of Roger Houle said, “I had to do this for Roger. Hospice was there when he needed help and when we did a benefit; we were going to do it for Hospice.” Roger Houle was a member of the Moosup VFW and the Danielson Lions Club. He also served in Vietnam and played lead guitar and sang in the band that plays on Sunday nights at the VFW. From one Lion to another, Dave Burgess of the Danielson Lions spoke about the fundraiser. Dave said, “We did it for Roger because he was our friend, Day Kimball Hospital is a non-profit, 103-bed community hospital in Putnam.
