If you get a call from an aggressive, belligerent, or insistent person who says you will be sued or jailed if you don’t make an immediate payment: suspect fraud. Generally, the IRS and CT DRS send taxpayers billing notices through the mail before ever calling.

Kensington Fire District Kensington, CT PWSID# CT0070011
We're pleased to present to you our Annual Drinking Water Quality Report, also known as the Consumer Confidence Report. This report, a requirement of the 1996 amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act, is designed to inform you about the quality water and services we deliver to you every day. Our constant goal is to provide you with a safe and dependable supply of drinking water. We want you to understand the efforts we make to continually improve the water treatment process and protect our water resources. We are committed to ensuring the quality of your water. Water Source Our water source consists of a consecutive supply from the New Britain Water Department, New Britain, CT. Our daily water production averages around 750,000 gallons, with an estimated yearly withdrawal of 274,340,000 gallons. We maintain approximately 44 miles of water main and our system serves an estimated population of 9,180 residents and maintains 3,080 service connections. Our certified lab is New Britain Water Laboratory. Since we purchase our water from the New Britain Water Department, we are not required to treat our water. Over the past year we have completed some improvements to our system. They consisted of installing 10 new fire hydrants, 50 old meters, and new office software. In the future, we plan to replace 300 feet of 1” and 1¼” water main, and also replacing 200 feet of old 6” cast iron main. We have meetings every Monday at 6pm at 947 Farmington Ave. (rear), Kensington, CT 06037. If you have any questions about this report or concerning your water system, please contact Daniel McKeon, Superintendent, at mailing address PO Box 2, Kensington, CT 06037 or telephone 860-828-9781. We want our valued customers to be informed about their water system. Source Water Protection Source water is untreated water from streams, rivers, lakes, or underground aquifers that is used to supply public drinking water. Preventing drinking water contamination at the source makes good public health sense, good economic sense, and good environmental sense. You can be aware of the challenges of keeping drinking water safe and take an active role in protecting drinking water. There are lots of ways that you can get involved in drinking water protection activities to prevent the contamination of the ground water source. Dispose properly of household chemicals, help clean up the watershed that is the source of your community's water, attend public meetings to ensure that the community's need for safe drinking water is considered in making decisions about land use. Contact our office for more information on source water protection, or contact the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) at 1.800.426.4791. You may also find information on EPA’s website at http://cfpub.epa.gov/
safewater/sourcewater/.
A source water assessment report was recently completed by the Connecticut Department of Public Health, Drinking Water Division. The completed Assessment report is available for access on the Drinking Water Division’s web site: http://www.ct.gov/dph/cwp/view.asp?a=3139&q=398262&dphNav_GID=1824. The assessment found that this public drinking water source has a high susceptibility to potential sources of contamination. Additional source water assessment information can be found at the Environmental Protection Agency’s website: http://cfpub.epa.gov/safewater/sourcewater/. Water Quality Kensington Fire District routinely monitors for contaminants in your drinking water according to Federal and State laws. The following table shows any detection resulting from our monitoring for the period of January 1 st to December 31st, 2015. It's important to remember that the presence of these contaminants does not necessarily pose a health risk. The sources of drinking water include rivers, lakes, ponds and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and radioactive material and can pick up substances resulting from human or animal activity. All sources of drinking water are subject to potential contamination by substances that are naturally occurring or man made. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife. Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, can be naturally occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming. Pesticides and herbicides may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm water runoff, and residential uses. Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff, and septic systems. Radioactive contaminants can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health. The table below lists all of the drinking water contaminants that were detected through out water quality monitoring and testing. The presence of contaminants in the water does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk.

The IDSE is used to determine the levels of disinfection byproducts (TTHM & HAA) in the distribution system for future regulations. Disinfection byproducts are the result of the disinfection of your drinking water. They form when the disinfectants combine with naturally occurring organic matter in the water. The IDSE data was not used for compliance purposes by the CT Department of Public Health-Drinking Water Section, and test results were not required to meet the MCL of 60 ppb for HAA and 80ppb for TTHM. Note: The state allows us to monitor for some contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants do not change frequently. Not all contaminants are tested for every year due to monitoring waivers and therefore we must use the most recent round of sampling. Some of our data is more than one year old, however, is limited to no older than 5 years. Units: Parts per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mg/l) - one part per million corresponds to one minute in two years or a single penny in $10,000. Parts per billion (ppb) or Micrograms per liter - one part per billion corresponds to one minute in 2,000 years, or a single penny in $10,000,000.
Units: Parts per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mg/l) - one part per million corresponds to one minute in two years or a single penny in $10,000. Parts per billion (ppb) or Micrograms per liter - one part per billion corresponds to one minute in 2,000 years, or a single penny in $10,000,000. Picocuries per liter (pCi/L) - picocuries per liter is a measure of the radioactivity in water. Micrograms per Liter (µg/1) – a measure of radioactivity in water. Millirems per year (mrem/year) – a measure of radiation absorbed by the water. Nephelometric Turbidity Unit (NTU) - nephelometric turbidity unit is a measure of the clarity of water. Turbidity in excess of 5 NTU is just noticeable to the average person. Definitions: Action Level (AL) - the concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must follow. Treatment Technique (TT) - A treatment technique is a required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water. Million Fibers per Liter (MFL) - million fibers per liter is a measure of the presence of asbestos fibers that are longer than 10 micrometers. Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) - The MCL is the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology. Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG) - The MCLG is the level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. Drinking Water Equivalent Level (DWEL) – A lifetime exposure concentration protective of adverse, non-cancer health effects, that assumes all of the exposure to a contaminant is from a drinking water source. Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL) - The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants. Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG) - The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants. Running Annual Average (RAA) - The average of all monthly or quarterly samples for the last year at all sample locations. Non Detect (ND) - The contaminant was not detected. Not Applicable, Not Established (N/A)
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Lead - Major Sources in Drinking Water: Corrosion of household plumbing systems; erosion of natural deposits. Health Effects Statement: Infants and children who drink water containing lead in excess of the action level could experience delays in their physical or mental development. Children could show slight deficits in attention span and learning abilities. Adults who drink this water over many years could develop kidney problems or high blood pressure. Copper - Major Sources in Drinking Water: Corrosion of household plumbing systems; erosion of natural deposits; leaching from wood preservatives Health Effects Statement: Copper is an essential nutrient, but some people who drink water containing copper in excess of the action level over a relatively short amount of time could experience gastrointestinal distress. Some people who drink water containing copper in excess of the action level over many years could, suffer liver or kidney damage. People with Wilson’s Disease should consult their personal doctor. Arsenic: The U.S. EPA adopted the new MCL standard of 10 ppb in October 2001. Water systems must meet this new standard by January 2006. Fluoride: Fluoride levels must be maintained between 1-2 ppm, for those water systems that fluoridate the water. Lead/Copper: Action levels are measured at consumer’s tap. 90% of the tests must be equal to or below the action level; therefore, the listed results above have been calculated and are listed as the 90 th percentile. Total Coliform Bacteria - Reported as the highest monthly number of positive samples, for water systems that take < 40 samples per month. Coliforms are bacteria which are naturally present in the environment and are used as an indicator that other, potentially-harmful bacteria may be present. Our tests have all been negative. TTHM/HAA5: Total Trihalomethanes (TTHM) and Haloacetic Acids (HAA5) are formed as a by-product of drinking water chlorination. This chemical reaction occurs when chlorine combines with naturally occurring organic matter in water. Turbidity: Turbidity has no health effects. However, turbidity can interfere with disinfection and provide a medium for microbial growth. Turbidity may indicate the presence of disease-causing organisms. These organisms include bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can cause symptoms such as nausea, cramps, diarrhea, and associated headaches.
As you can see by the table, our system had no violations. We’re proud that your drinking water meets all Federal and State requirements. The EPA has determined that your water IS SAFE at these levels. All drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791. For most people, the health benefits of drinking plenty of water outweigh any possible health risk from these contaminants. However, some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/Center of Disease Control (CDC) guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by cryptosporidium and other microbiological contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. We are responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for thirty (30) seconds to two (2) minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead. Water Conservation Tips Water conservation measures are an important first step in protecting our water supply. Such measures not only save the supply of our source water, but can also save you money by reducing your water bill. Water is a limited resource so it is vital that we all work together to maintain it and use it wisely. Here are a few tips you can follow to help conserve. Additional information on water conservation may be obtained by accessing EPA’s “Water Use Efficiency Program” webpage: http://www.epa.gov/owm/water-efficiency/index.htm:
o Check for leaky toilets (put a drop of food coloring in the tank, let it sit if the water in the bowl turns color, you have a leak). A leaking faucet or toilet can dribble away thousands of gallons of water a year. o Consider replacing your 5-gallon per flush toilet with an efficient 1.6 gallon per flush unit. This will permanently cut your water consumption by 25%. o Run only full loads in dishwashers and washing machines. Rinse all hand-washed dishes at once. o Turn off the faucet while brushing teeth, or shaving. o Store a jug of ice water in the refrigerator for a cold drink. o Water lawn and plants in the early morning or evening hours to avoid excess evaporation. Don’t water on a windy, rainy or very hot day. o Water shrubs and gardens using a slow trickle around the roots. A slow soaking encourages deep root growth, reduces leaf burn or mildew and prevents water loss. Select low-water demanding plants that provide an attractive landscape without high water use. o Apply mulch around flowers, shrubs, vegetables and trees to reduce evaporation, promote plant growth and control weeds. Shrubs and ground covers require less maintenance, less water and provide year-round greenery. o Be sure that your hose has a shut-off nozzle. Hoses without a nozzle can spout 10 gallons more per minute. o When washing your car, wet it quickly, turn on the spray, wash it with soapy water from the bucket, rinse quickly. o Be sure sprinklers water only your lawn, not the pavement. o Never use the hose to clean debris off your driveway or sidewalk. Use a broom. o Rinse other items, such as bicycles or trash, on the lawn to give your grass an extra drink.
We, at Kensington Fire District, work hard to provide top quality water to every tap. Water is a limited resource so it is vital that we all work together to maintain it and use it wisely. We ask that all our customers help us protect and preserve our drinking water resources, which are the heart of our community, our way of life, and our children’s future. Please contact us with any questions. Thank you for working together for safe drinking water.

JANUARY 1, 2016 TO DECEMBER 31, 2016 The Worthington Fire District was established in 1920 by Special Act of the Connecticut Legislature, with an effective date at which to begin operation of July 1, 1922. Its sole objective is the transmission and distribution of potable water to approximately 2,875 water customers with approximately 1,042 residential connections.

REPORT
JANUARY 1, 2016 TO DECEMBER 31, 2016 In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations establishes limits for contaminants in bottled water that must provide the same protection for public health. Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800426-7491).
This bulletin has been prepared to provide Worthington Fire District’s customers with the confidence that the water they drink meets and, in most cases, exceeds all State and Federal Drinking Water Requirements.
However, some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections.
In 1967, the Worthington Fire District entered into an agreement to purchase all of its water from the Berlin Water Control Commission. During the period covered by this report, January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2015, the Worthington Fire District provided water purchased from the Berlin Water Control Commission that included water from the Elton production wells, water purchased from the New Britain Water Department, and water purchased from the Cromwell Fire District.
These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. Report by: EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and Worthington Fire District other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-4261400 Berlin Turnpike – Berlin CT 06037 4791).
The Berlin Water Control Commission supply, excluding that provided by the New Britain Water Department and the Cromwell Fire District , comes from two (2) sources: Elton Rd: Production Well #1A; and ReportElton by: Rd: Production Well #2A.

As required by the Connecticut State Department of Health, the Berlin Water Control Commission has two Water Treatment Plant Operators, Class 1, and one Water Treatment Plant Operator, Class 2. As required by the Connecticut State Department of Health, the Worthington Fire District has two Class 3 certified treatment operators, certified as Distribution System Operators and Water Treatment Plant Operators. Monthly testing of the water supplied by the Worthington Fire District has shown that the water has met or exceeded every standard set by the State and Federal Agencies for quality and safety. The following tables summarize the analytical results of water samples taken from various locations within the distribution system. Table I includes all of the REGULATED contaminants that were detected during the 2016 sampling season. Although all were well below Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs), the following lists their significance and possible reasons:
Haloacetic Acids (HAA5s): are formed as a result of chlorine, used in the disinfection process, reactingby: with natural occurring organic acids. Levels well above the MCL (Maximum Report Contaminant Level) mayDistrict cause cancer. Worthington Fire 1400 Berlin Turnpike – Berlin CT 06037 Trihalomethanes (TTHMs) are those compounds created by the chlorination of drinking water by the reaction the chlorine or organic matter. A Maximum Contaminant (MCL) of Date: May 26, of 2017 Page #3 of Level 9 Pages 0.080 milligrams per liter (mg/L) has been established. Some people who drink water containing Trihalomethanes in excess of the MCL, over many years, DISTRICT may experience problems with their WORTHINGTON FIRE liver, kidneys or central nervous system, or may have an increased risk of getting cancer. POTABLE WATER CONFIDENCE REPORT Turbidity is a measure of the cloudiness of water. It is monitored because it is a good indicator 1, 2016 TOhinder DECEMBER 31, 2016 of water quality. High JANUARY turbidity levels can also the effectiveness of disinfection.
The news of high lead levels in the water in Flint, Michigan illustrated the vital importance to public health of appropriate monitoring, sampling, and testing for lead and copper. Federal regulations require that homes be sampled every three years by having the homeowner collect a one-liter sample from the cold-water kitchen tap as a “first draw” (after the water has been standing motionless in household pipes for at least six hours). Samples were collected from the Worthington Fire District in 2015 and will be due again in 2018. Table II of this report summarizes the results of lead and copper testing conducted in 2015. During this round of sampling, none of the ten homes sampled were above the action levels set by the EPA. The EPA requires 90% of samples taken in a sampling period fall below the action levels, therefore, the Worthington Fire District remains in compliance with the Lead and Copper Rule. Please note the following information concerning lead and copper in public drinking water. Copper: Copper is an essential nutrient, but some people who drink water containing copper in excess of the action level over a relatively short amount of time could experience gastrointestinal distress. Some individuals who drink water containing copper in excess of the action level over may years may suffer liver or kidney damage. People with Wilson’s disease should consult their personal health provider. During the lead and copper monitoring period conducted in 2015, there were no samples detected above the copper action level at any of the first draw samples collected by the homeowners. Report by: Lead: If present,Fire elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for Worthington District pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and 1400 Berlin Turnpike – Berlin CT 06037 components associated with service lines and home plumbing. The Worthington Fire District is responsible high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of 9 materials Date: Mayfor 26,providing 2017 Page #4 of Pages used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting in the residential plumbing for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 WORTHINGTON FIRE DISTRICT seconds to two minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in yourPwater, Information lead O T Ayou B Lmay E wish W Ato T have E R your C Owater N F Itested.

Another simple way to reduce the possible exposure to lead is to regularly clean your faucet screens to remove material that may become trapped in the screen. Some of that material may be lead particles from your home’s internal plumbing. Finally, do not use hot water from the tap to make infant formula or for cooking. Hot water may have higher mineral content than the cold water supplied by the Worthington Fire District. Infants and young children who drink water containing lead in excess of the action level could experience delays in their physical or mental development. Children could show slight deficits in attention span and learning abilities. Adults who drink water containing lead in excess of the action level over many years can develop kidney problems or high blood pressure. Infants and young children are typically more vulnerable to lead in drinking water than the general population. While the Worthington Fire District uses no lead pipes in its distribution system, it does not have ownership or responsibility for the materials used in your home’s plumbing. If you are concerned about the plumbing materials used in your residence or the lead levels in your home, you can contact the Worthington Fire District for further information. The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife. Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally occurring or resulting from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming. Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses. Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems. Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.
Following are just a few of the many steps that we can all take to prevent the waste and, perhaps loss, of this most valuable gift: 1.
Detect and repair leaky faucets and toilets.
2.
Install water-efficient showers and dish-and/or-clothes washers
3.
Limit the time spent in showering.

The 10-year-old German Shepard demonstrated various commands while keeping his eyes on Krzykowski. “He’s stopped a lot of bad things from happening,” she said. This summer will be Titan’s last on the force. He will retire in the fall and a new K9 will be announced. Krzykowski said she recently learned she would be working with the new dog. “He gets to just be a dog now,” she said of Titan’s retirement. Titan has been part of the department since 2008. The department has another K9 named Bane. At last week’s story time, several police-themed books were displayed for patrons
to take out and enjoy. By the end of the event all the books were gone. Titan sat patiently as children and adults came over to greet him. “We use canines a lot in the community,” Krzykowski said. “It’s a great outreach.” This was the second time the library held the police officer story time. Earlier this month, Berlin Police Detective Scott Schreiner participated in the event and showed over 50 attendees around his police cruiser. “We’ve gotten a good response,” said Helen Malinka, library director. akus@record-journal.com 203-317-2448 Twitter: @ KusReporter

commission Wednesday night, July 19. Currently, the golf course off Southington Road is managed by the Parks & Recreation Commission. Chair of the Parks & Recreation Commission, Len Zielinski, said he had some concerns about the new commission. “I think you need to have balance on the commissions,” he said. “Our policies have been evolving for 20 to 25 years to keep them consistent.” Kaczynski said the commission would run like the others in town and have seven members appointed by the council. The commission would also likely have an advisor. It was suggested by several golfers who attended the July 19 meeting that the commission consist of a variety of golfers and one non-golfer. “It would provide better representation of golf knowledge,” said Sebastian Senia, a former Parks & Recreation Commission member. “Golf-

The ordinance is expected to be sent to the Town Council for its first September meeting. If the council approves the commission, applications will be accepted for members. Kaczynski said the second meeting in September would be when members are appointed. “I don’t think parks and rec wants to give it up, but they have a lot on their plates already,” the mayor said. “I think this will work out for everybody.” akus@record-journal.com 203317-2448 Twitter: @KusReporter

Larry loved playing golf and was quick to offer help to anyone who asked about their swing; he spent many hours swinging his club in his basement where he had a driving net and putting area. Laurent is survived by his three children, Laurie Kukler and her husband, John, of Idaho, James and his wife, Pamela, of Wyoming, and Sharon and her husband, Dennis, of Berlin, with whom he lived; six grandchildren, JoAnn Davis, Scott Nemit, James Fournier, all in Idaho, Laurie Nelson, of Berlin, Nickola Fournier, of California, Paul Phaneuf,of East Berlin; 12 great-grandchildren; four great-great-grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews, including Georgann Leibe whom he loved like his own daughter.

Troop packs boxes for ailing children This past spring, Daisy Troop 60491 worked on its first community service project. In an effort to help other children, troop members decided to collect donations to put together Jared Boxes. The Jared Box Project is a nonprofit organization started in 2001 by the children of Our Lady of Victory School in State College, Pennsylvania to honor their classmate and friend, Jared. The brave boy was diagnosed with an incurable brain stem tumor in 1999 at just 5 years old. He carried a backpack full of toys and games to all his appointments, and questioned why the other children didn’t bring toys to their exam rooms. To honor Jared’s memory and support the importance of play for children going through tough situations, Jared Boxes are filled with small gifts, toys, games, and fun activities. The boxes are then delivered to hospitals. Once Daisy Troop 60491 Troop Leader Tricia Nadeau learned about this project, she immediately decided that this would be a great thing for her Daisy Girl Scouts to take on.
bution to the project.
Troop 60491 solicited donations from friends, family and local businesses. General Equities Inc., of Berlin, assembled and donated 30 Jared Boxes as their contri-
Nadeau had a Jared Box command center set up in her garage for several weeks. Eventually, enough materials were generated to create 201 Jared boxes.
Brownies of Troop 60491: Oriana Andiric, Kayla Thorsell, Makenna Groll, Kathy Summa, Jillian Farrand , Lucia Kelly, Brooklyn Duquette and Kylie Jankowski.
Troop 60491 worked hard to assemble and decorate the boxes with the materials collected. The troop then connected with Connecticut Children’s Medical Center and St. Francis Hospital to
make sure the boxes got into the hands of children. The troop took part in the actual deliveries, unloading all of the boxes at the two facilities.
In the midst of this project, in June, the local girls bridged from Daisy Girl Scouts to Brownies. – Press Release
Foundation looks at ‘Workforce of the Future’ The Community Foundation of Greater New Britain is offering a grant of up to $10,000 to help non-collegebound students who are disengaged or require personalized assistance achieve career success. Organizations that can offer employment training and support programs targeted to these students in Berlin, New Britain, Plainville and Southington should respond to the foundation’s Request for Proposals
for the 2017 Catalyst Fund grant. The RFP is available on the foundation’s website at www.cfgnb.org. The Catalyst Fund is a “giving circle” of local citizens who seek to improve quality of life in Berlin, New Britain, Plainville and Southington. Grant awards are directed by a group of community-minded Catalyst Fund members. Three times per year, members gather to learn about a member-chosen issue fac-
ing their community, and to consider funding requests from charitable organizations addressing the issue. The year concludes with a grant of up to $10,000. The issue for 2017 is “Workforce of the Future.” There is
a growing need nationwide – and a lack of corresponding resources – to assist young people who are not planning to attend college, may be disengaged or may require a more personalized approach to develop
the soft skills and training needed to ensure they can compete in today’s job market. For more information, contact Joeline Wruck at jwruck@cfgnb.org or 860229-6018, ext. 307. – Press Release
