Annual Old Guard Luncheopn 2024
Our concluding event of the Old Guard annual season for 2023-2024 witnessed a capacity gathering of some 120 members and guests gathered at this venerable and refurbished first rate country club featuring delicious entrees consisting of salmon, chicken marsala and eggplant parmesan, followed by cheesecake and tiramisu. Our guest speaker, introduced by Paul Dean, was none other than our very own Dr. William A. MacDonnell, DDS, speaking on the topic of Horace Wells, Connecticut’s Greatest Humanitarian, and a seminal figure in pioneering the use of anesthesia in medicine. An informative and heartfelt presentation by Dr. MacDonnell, enjoyed and appreciated by all present.
Great fun for a good cause.

The Old Guard Inc. of West Hartford proudly presented the Kilwins Swing for the Kids Golf Tournament on Tuesday, May 21, 2024, at Stanley Golf Course and The Back Nine Tavern in New Britain. Forty-four golfers and fourteen lunch attendees enjoyed a beautiful day for a great cause. After nine holes of golf, all gathered at the restaurant for a delicious buffet dinner. Both Stanley Golf and Back Nine Tavern do an outstanding job for the tournament.
Thanks to the generosity of donors, raffle items valued at over $1,800 were given to winners. A silent auction raised $1,800 for the tournament. Additionally, money was raised by the sale of golf mulligans ($270) and raffle ticket sales ($635).
In total, the Kilwins Swing for the Kids Golf Tournament raised $9,613! All these funds go to the YMCA Camp Scholarship Fund which enables kids from families with financial need to attend Y camps.
