Despite being hit by some untimely snow activity, our residents enjoyed several wonderful meals and visits as well as our first-ever Game Night, which featured an exciting Spades Tournament that went right down to the wire.
April will have us making several trips to Hartford as we are one of the three non-profit organizations that will benefit from CCM-CT's fabulous April 11 Triple Crown at the Hartford Club. That will be followed by our Bridgeport Legislative Delegation's Bridgeport Day on April 12 and the Annual Stuff A Humvee Day on April 25, which will benefit Homes for the Brave along with Hartford's South Park Inn. We will also be busy preparing for our May Golf Classic, which promises to be our best one ever!!!

Program Highlights
|
Our team works diligently to advocate for Veterans and we were honored to be a part of CBIA's Connecticut Business Day at the Capitol. We shared the issues and needs of homeless Veterans with political and business leaders and developed new opportunities for support.
(Vince Santilli, CEO, State Representative Laura Devlin, Kathy Beardsworth, Dir. of Communications and Outreach) |
Partnership Highlights |
Where would we be without the support of our community partners? We are deeply grateful to everyone who donated items, meals, or provided financial support last month. We hope you know how wonderful you are and that gifts of any size can make a ripple and create more abundance.
Here are some highlights from March:
(Giving Day Kick-Off event; our new partner, AlixPartners serving dinner; St. Patrick's Day dinner with Knights of Columbus St. Matthew Council 14630; AmeriCorps Alums serve dinner; Southport Congregational Church serves dinner and provides profound messages from children.)
