In the mean time the teen center wanted to get the word out to organizations in the greater New Haven area that have children and teens in need. Do you know of programs or organizations in the greater…

Although I can't attend tonight's meeting, I want to add a question/concern for discussion. I am a daily walker in the Quinnipiac River Park, going all the way to the end near Brewery Square. I've also been a community gardener for many years, and believe in the importance of urban gardening.  My question is, how will we include the needs of neighborhood children, youth, and adults who use that end of the park for impromptu football games, baseball games, picnics, and dog-walking? It has…

It is amazing to think that one year ago, January 25, 2011, during a snowstorm – of course – we welcomed our community to the Start Community Bank Grand Opening and cut the ribbons at our Whalley and Grand Avenue branches.  We had received our official charter at the end of December 2010.  In a typical year, about 100 banks in the US  earn a charter.  In 2010 there were 3; and we were one of those three. 

1500 accounts and $17 million in deposits later, we want to take the time to…

Yes we got snow for our party but we took our Halloween party to the homes at Quinnipiac Terrace. I wanted to let all those who donated pumpkins, candy, muffins, apples and cider form the Uconn extension center, 40 loves of bread from Chibasa's bakery that 4 boys from the homework program. Lee, Joan, Sally, George & Mary Ann went door to door and gave treats to our neighbors and friends. It was a great succeess and  there were many happy kids and grateful parents who thanked CSNA for…

Due to the weight of the snow and the fact that the leaves are still on the trees has caused many limbs to come down, should anyone experience any problems, please call 203-946-6316 for the time being as the police non-emergency number is forwarding all calls.

I hope that I will be excused of abusing the website to ask for help, animal lovers will understand.

So... this is just to inform that your Webmaster as of October 1st finally has immigrated to CSNA country...  I often tell people that Fair Haven is like Manhattan... just think that Mill River = Hudson River ,  Quinnipiac River = East River, Ferry Street = Broadway ,  Grand Avenue = 34th street.   Using that New York City reference I have moved North from the Bottling Works Condominium in "Wall Street" area to the  Upper East Side...   



I don't know yet how long I will be residing…

Hi Folks,

Somebody has been vandalizing the new play area at Dover Beach park. Over the past 4 monts, they have knocked down 3 fence panels from around the play area. Each time I called the city, but all they did was haul away the panels, they never replaced them. The vandals also beat up the trash can and removed its wheels so it won't stand up anymore and trash goes everywhere; I called about this as well but to no avail.  I just posted a report to Seeclickfix about this problem.…
