The Asylum Hill Neighborhood Association's mission is to empower and connect residents and stakeholders to improve the quality of life in our neighborhood. Like you, we are navigating the uncharted waters of the COVID-19 pandemic. Amidst all this uncertainty, however, some things are known- namely, that Hartford is home to committed community leaders, passionate non-profits, and generous business partners. In our city, we will work together to meet this crisis with compassion, confidence and creativity.

Volunteer (Opportunities) of the Month
As was suggested in
Asylum Hill Then & Now,
there are a few activities that are still compatible with all the restrictions of COVID 19. It seems valuable to try to focus on what we can do. Social distancing, 6 feet apart, puts a real crimp in the way most of us behave, especially when we're volunteering to help others.
However, one thing that it seems could still be done by anyone willing, that's still allowed, at least for now, and benefits us all, is picking up litter.

March Recap
The old adage about March, lions and lambs got turned on its head this year. The month began with an AHNA meeting on March 2
nd that hosted the first of the Hartford Plan of Conservation and Development called Hartford 2035. What was to be a series of six meetings got cut short to only two.
On March 8
th, tragedy struck on Ashley St when the house at 29 Ashley owned by Mr. Delille caught fire. Fortunately no one was injured, but the damage is extensive, and the owner is still waiting for the State Fire Marshall to complete the necessary inspection before any cleanup work can begin.
