Change can be stressful especially for animals. Day 1 in our new house and Finn was not happy- Second night of a pillow bed on the floor with the sweetest big guy. He is the best blanket but does take up the entire bed. Feeling too old to sleep on the floor but it’s worth not having him cry all night!
🎄 I spent the evening in Griswold celebrity bartending at The Canteen at VFW Post 10004 Jewett City, CT, it was so much fun!! Thank you to everyone who stopped by to support the event. Every dollar raised goes toward supporting our veterans, and I’m grateful to the VFW and all who made the night such a success.
It was an honor to join Matt’s Mission to recognize the important work they have done over the last ten years. They took a tragedy and turned it into a lasting legacy of hope for individuals and families affected by substance use disorders. Their dedication to expanding access to support, reducing stigma, and strengthening community-based resources has made a significant difference for hundreds of families across eastern Connecticut.
Thank you to the entire Matt’s Mission team for your compassion and commitment. I look forward to continuing to support Matt’s legacy through my work on the Public Health Committee.
Thank you as well to Griswold PRIDE and the wonderful Town of Griswold for all that you do.
