Quinnipiac Tribe Pow Wow

On a gorgeous Saturday morning it was a special treat to witness the signing of a covenant to promise friendship and support between the Native American tribe and the people of the region. I particularly enjoyed learning more about the earliest inhabitants of Fair Haven.

Way to celebrate, Mary Wade Home!

What a wonderful gathering of friends, supporters, and residents who shared a warm ceremony to cut the red ribbon and open the new wing of the Mary Wade Home.  The food was delicious, the champagne flowed, and the speeches were short and sincere.  Thanks to everyone on the staff who made it a memorable event.

Grand Vin

Absolutely, we need to support them!  It's a wonderful store & the people who work there are so helpful & friendly.  I, too, have been very concerned with how the snow & "endless" construction has affected their business.  It would be very sad if yet another neighborhood business had to close.  Thanks for writing about this.  Jude

Support Grand Vin

Hi everybody,

 

Many of you probably know Grand Vin, on the corner of Grand and Quinnipiac Avenues.  It's a gem of store, selling a variety of fine wines, beers and liquor, more like the Wine Thief downtown than the other liquor stores on Grand Ave.  Ben, the owner, is very knowlegable, and committed to the neighborhood.  He had a rough winter, however, due to all the snow wiping out parking, and now the road construction on Quinnipiac continuing the…

Fair Haven Community Sailing - Let's Relive It Again!

So, quite frankly I have decided to follow the Nike slogan : JUST DO IT! We have been debating the topic of repeating of the community sailing aboard the schooner Quinnipiack and somehow we couldn't decide if, when etc. It was decided that planing of the sail for the May 1st would be competing with the Lobster Party at Jenelles's and the season opening of the Quinnipiac River Marina. I hope that we will be able to relive it finally again on Sunday May 22nd. …

Any photos of the Easter Bunny in Chatham Square?

The Easter Bunny that stopped by Chatham Square for the egg hunt would LOVE to have a photo or two for her scrapbook.  So if anyone took a photo that can be shared, can you post it here?  She wants to make The Tooth Fairy jealous.  :o)

Compare to New Haven! - Evaluation of Boston's 'Neighbors for Neighbors' a hub for 18 neighborhoods

Dear Neighbors

I had recently a great opportunity to present our Website as one of the examples of a NING based website to a surprisingly large group of people that gathered in The Grove, a co-working and collaborative space serving the social mission sector of New Haven. I am not an experienced public presenter and apparently my presentation drifted quickly from talking about technicalities of the NING as Web platform to…

Women's History Month

We observe Women's History Month during March, which gives us an opportunity to share some wage and labor information about the women of Connecticut. Our thanks to the Permanent Commission on the Status of Women for these observations:

  • Women make up 66.5% of private not-for-profit wage and salary workers.
  • Women own almost one third of Connecticut businesses. Between 1997 and 2004 there was a 64% increase in…
