Dear Reader,
Memories, that is part of what Norah ponders in her column this week. As we look back upon this summer, what kind of memories will you be holding onto? When you think back, what are your highs and lows?
Take a read of Barbara’s article which explores how the Baldwin Center is embracing the lived experiences of the LGBTQIA+ community through storytelling, and hosting workshops uplifting the role allies play in strengthening the LGBTQIA+ community. Senator Perillo honored Department of Children and Families Commissioner Jodi Hill-Lilly when she announced her retirement after 37 years of service, helping the children and families of Connecticut. And today, kicks-off sales tax-free week as students and parents alike prepare for the first day of school on August 28th.
This week bring the kids along when you shop at the Farmers Market on Paradise Green! Tomorrow is the Market’s annual Kids Day — Monday, August 18th from 2pm-6pm. Sponsored by the Stratford Health Department, it’s the best place to get fresh fruits and vegetables, support the local economy, and the entire family can have fun with good food and games.
And please, don’t miss David Wright’s look into birding — in a different way!
