Diane Panasci said… Thank you Lee. I am moving to the neighborhood later this month and wanted a head start on getting acquainted with new neighbors and getting involved in the community! 17 years working in tourism, I would love to help make New Haven, and specifically Chatham Square a sought after "destination". I hope to see you at 200 Orange St on November 7th for the "Main Street" approach meeting.
