🌳A great morning meeting with Marcia Fowler and members of the Litchfield Land Trust!
Since 1968, they have protected more than 4,100 acres of forests, farms, and open space right here in Litchfield County. This is conservation done right. Local people protecting local land for the next generation.
The trails we hike, the clean water we drink, and the New England character we all love do not happen by accident. They happen because of people who care enough to do the work.
Thank you to the team at the Litchfield Land Trust. Proud to represent a district that values this kind of stewardship.
Happy 100th birthday to Raymond Conroy! 🎉🇺🇸
I was honored to join Brookfield neighbors, family and friends at St. Joseph’s Church to celebrate a true American hero. Raymond served in the U.S. Navy during World War II across two theaters of war.
100 years of life and a lifetime of service.
Thank you for all that you’ve done for our community and country, Raymond. Wishing you many more happy and healthy years to come!
I had the honor of visiting Friendly Hands Food Bank today in Torrington with State Representative Joe Canino - Torrington for their monthly Veterans Luncheon.
These luncheons bring our local veterans together for good food, good company, and connection. It was a privilege to be part of it.
I was especially proud to present a citation to Rick Dalla Valle, a veteran who won a year’s supply of cheese and donated it directly to Friendly Hands to help neighbors in need. That is the kind of selflessness that defines our veterans and the Torrington community.
On April 1, Friendly Hands opened a new Veterans Hospitality Room at its facility. It gives local veterans a welcoming place to gather, connect, and access supportive resources. What a wonderful addition to our community.
Thank you to Karen Thomas and her entire team for everything you do at Friendly Hands Food Bank. The Northwest Corner is incredibly fortunate to have you to support our neighbors in need.
