Member Banks of the Connecticut Mutual Holding Company

Winsted, CT (May 11, 2020) “Over the past month, the Connecticut Mutual Holding Company teams have worked tirelessly to deploy the SBA’s Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) to help support the backbone of our communities - small businesses.

Donor challenges region to raise $1M for Sharon Hospital

 

Sharon, Conn. — May 11, 2020 — An anonymous benefactor from the region has made an extraordinary offer to match up to $1 million in philanthropic support for coronavirus (COVID-19) care efforts and ongoing emergency preparedness at Sharon Hospital.

“These remarkable acts of kindness remind us of the region’s strong support for healthcare teams on the frontlines of one of the greatest public health crises of our lifetimes,” said Dr. Mark Hirko, the hospital’s president. “Significant gifts like this strengthen our ability to advance patient care and meet the array of healthcare needs of this region — something that is part of our mission and commitment to all who we serve.”

Now through December 31, every donation will be matched, dollar-for-dollar, to invest in technology, supplies and equipment needed to enhance care for those affected by COVID-19 and ensure preparedness for future public health emergencies.

Local philanthropic efforts have been instrumental in Sharon Hospital’s ability to manage the COVID-19 pandemic and respond quickly and meaningfully to neighbors in need. Thanks to the generosity of donors throughout northwest Connecticut and northeastern New York, the challenge has already neared the halfway mark.

“The way we approach COVID-19 may be changing but the pandemic is still impacting our community,” Hirko said. “This unprecedented outbreak has tested us all in ways never before imagined, but it also presents an opportunity for our community to come together and help one another.”

Sharon Hospital is inviting local businesses and individuals to support critical healthcare services in the community and double the impact of their gift through the $1 Million Match-Challenge. To make a gift in support of Sharon Hospital, visit nuvancehealth.org/supportsharonhospital .

From Salisbury, CT First Selectman's Office

Good afternoon SCS families,

 

It is with deep regret that the Salisbury Memorial Day parade has been cancelled. We hope to see you all for the parade in 2021.

As you can imagine, the Census Bureau would like to eliminate as many necessary door to door visits in the future for the households that do not reply. Attached is a flyer about how to complete the census. 

There’s still time to shape the future for the Salisbury community. You can complete the 2020 Census by mail, phone or online. If your property is vacant or seasonal, you still need to reply with "0". No matter where you call home, the 2020 Census is your chance to shape the future of Salisbury. It is safe, easy and important! Complete the census today!  www.2020Census.gov

Nearly $11 Billion of Federal funding allocations for Connecticut are determined using census data.

Social Distance Weddings

With all that we are going through, it’s not an option but rather a necessity to keep our loved ones together. Together ‘safely’ is all of our utmost concern. Before you cancel or postpone your most special wedding celebration to 2021, take a minute to think about Interlaken. We are learning more each day about the amazing healing power of the sun when it comes to this situation and with our outdoor ceremony at our lakefront and our open-air pavilion for your dinner reception, Interlaken can offer a socially distant option for your wedding that will be safe and provide ample healthy sunshine.

Since every day seems like a Saturday now, weddings can happen any day of the week (and of course just one wedding per day). The venue will be exclusive to you and your Guests only...
