A great way to kick off East Haven’s Fall Festival weekend! 🍂
Thursday evening I joined the East Haven community for the Mayor’s Merit Awards Dinner to celebrate some incredible residents and Goody’s True Value Hardware, a fourth-generation, family-owned business that has served East Haven since 1933.
Congratulations to Vincent Borzillo, Resident of the Year; Joseph Santino, Senior Resident of the Year; Goody’s True Value Hardware, Community Business of the Year; Jayla Santiago, Student of the Year; and Officer Nicole Burrell, Public Safety Officer of the Year.
And with the East Haven Fall Festival happening, be sure to head down to the Town Green this weekend for great food, music, activities, and community fun. Hope to see you there!
Today I joined our communities in Wallingford and North Haven as we came together to remember and honor all those impacted by September 11, 2001.
Twenty-five years later, the weight of that day and the courage we witnessed remain with us. We remember those who never made it home, the first responders who ran towards danger, and the families who have carried an unimaginable loss.
In the days that followed, Americans came together, we stood together as one country. We could use more of that unity today. We may not always agree, but there is far more that unites us than divides us.
I’m grateful to everyone who gathered today to ensure that we continue to tell their stories and that future generations understand not only the tragedy of September 11th, but also the extraordinary courage, unity, and selflessness Americans showed in the face of it. 🇺🇸
