The Chartis GroupSpecial thanks to all the individuals and organizations that supported the event with donations of wine, auction items and additional financial contributions.ike Connect was born from an idea of Dr. Robert Rodner and Dr. Alan Krupp to support our health system and our nurses. In an era where nursing shortages are reaching critical levels, this fundraising event was designed to raise money for scholarships which are given to current ECHN employees who wish to pursue becoming a nurse or advancing their nursing career. The event offers a 23-mile bicycle course which connects Woodlake at Tolland, Rockville General Hospital, Manchester Memorial Hospital and the Visiting Nurse & Health Services of Connecticut facilities and a 43-mile route which adds the Glastonbury Wellness Center. A six-mile Walk/Run through Vernon is also available.An Evening of Fine Wines and Gourmet Cuisine19

The program began early in 1998 at the suggestion of former ECHN President & CEO Barry Scheur. Mike Greenberg, the current director of Food Services, and Wayne Wiganowske, former Food Services Director, helped in the initial set-up of the service. They recruited volunteers to oversee the running of the carts. The proceeds of the coffee sales are donated each year to departments or programs within the hospital. The fiscal year 2011 proceeds, totaling $45,000, were donated to the following: The Meg Berté Owen Cancer Survivorship Fund ($29,000), Women's Center for Wellness ($10,000), Oncology Nurse Educator Fund ($3,000) and ECHN Breast & Cervical Cancer Program ($3,000). We are so grateful for these volunteers and their commitment to our community.Coffee Cart VolunteersCatherine ParentPaula BallsieperFlorence AlkasMaryJane HuntingtonCindy JarvisPeggy JohnsonAnn MongellPeter PhillipsPatricia PorterAmelia ReillyKarin TurekErin IngramMary WynnVolunteer CommitteesAnnual FundKathleen A.
