Apple Harvest Festival 5K a Success!

Back on October 14th I had the pleasure of directing the Apple Harvest Festival 5K Road Race right here in Glastonbury, Connecticut, which I have done for the past four years.  

The race is presented by the Glastonbury Chamber of Commerce as a component of the weekend-long Apple Harvest Festival.

Despite the cool & drizzly conditions that morning we managed to draw over 460 runners for the 5K, a 1,000m youth race around Riverfont Park and a fun-run for the toddlers.  That was a record turnout for us and we're already looking forward to some serious upgrades to the 2013 edition of the race.  Click here for results.

I'm pictured below with Joe Aguiar, the weekday morning DJ at (one of my personal favorites) The River 105.9 FM.  We were honored to have Joe as our guest emcee.  He's fantastic when it comes to keeping kids entertained as they nervously await the start of their race!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Local Discussion on Hospice

In my role as Court-appointed conservator for incapacitated individuals who have no interested family members, I have had the unpleasant duty of attending to end-of-life arrangements for many clients.  One service that often proves to be invaluable in these situations is hospice. 

On Thursday, November 13th from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Buckingham Estates will host “The Final Journey: Understanding Hospice" with Katie Collette of the Visiting Nurse and Health Services of Connecticut Inc. Come join a discussion on how hospice programs enhance quality of life during the final months and emphasize the strengths of the entire family.

Buckingham Estates is located at 1824 Manchester Road, Glastonbury, CT.
