April at the Hartford Yard Goats…baseball is back! Paul shared that the Yard Goat winning game this past Sunday was a success with 26 attending. The rainy weather held off until the end of the game. Here are some photos of our group.
The Old Guard will have a docent led tour of The Bushnell on Thursday, March 21, 2024 at 1 p.m. The tour will include a backstage (and on stage) look at both the main Mortensen Hall and the Belding Theater, among many highlights. It is free, as is the parking, which is in the parking lot of the State Office Building across the street at 165 Capitol Avenue. It lasts approximately 90 minutes.
Our host, Frank Virnelli, Jr., is a volunteer at the Bushnell. Join this tour to see and witness just how the magic occurs during performances. This tour will be an “eye-opener” for all.

Guys having fun while doing good.
On behalf of the Salvation Army I am sending out this link that will allow you to donate to the virtual Red Kettle online.
This is a safe and secure way to make a donation to the Salvation Army, specifically the Hartford branch that as an organization we have supported for several years.
Last year, between direct contributions and the Virtual Red Kettle, the Old Guard raised $8,000. After visiting with their leadership and seeing and hearing the good they do for our community, I know that every dollar is appreciated and needed. I know it is a big ask to meet or to exceed last year’s total, but I challenge you to share this link with friends and family.
All donations through this link will be credited to the Old Guard’s totals. This is grassroots fundraising and it is you who are planting those seeds for a successful campaign. Below is the link for donating. I am also attaching a couple of slides to guide you through the process if you are unfamiliar with online donations.
As with previous years, If you prefer to donate directly with a check, I am happy to accept those and submit them to the Salvation Army office directly. Thank you in advance for your generosity and your service to the community.
