"Optimism is a happiness magnet. If you stay positive, good things and good people will be drawn to you."
Out now is our 2025 holiday episode of Senator Kissel and Friends. My guests were Lanie Lebrun, Outreach Coordinator for Enfield Food Shelf, and Officer Paul Dubiel, Toys for Joy.
They shared what they are doing to prep for the holiday season and provide meals and gifts for those in need, and how members of our community can participate.
Enfield Food Shelf has their Tree-mendous Event coming 12/5 and 12/6; and Toys for Joy is hosting a Stuff-a-Cruiser in the first week of December.

On Sunday, 11/9, I attended Enfield’s Veterans’ Day Parade. A great way to honor the veterans who have served our country.
Thank you to all the participants who made the event special, and a heartfelt thank you to every veteran for your service and sacrifice.
On Tuesday, October 21, I visited East Granby High School to learn more about their special education program and the supports in place for students. I am currently visiting my local school districts, learning as much as I can for my role as Ranking Member on the Select Committee on Special Education.
