                 This is the time of year when we all need as much sun and color as we can manage.   The dreary, gray days of winter hang on, and it’s nice to get a fresh pop of color through our windows.

                Please call 203-783-3292 to register.

On Saturday, March 3^rd, 2:00 pm, the ECC and Milford Library are sponsoring a film and open discussion all about TRASH. It will be led by Steve Johnson, our Open Space and Natural Resource Agent and Acting Assistant Public Works Director. 

Trash disposal and recycling are vital community services that we rely on for our quality of life, our health and the health of our living environment, our economy and our future. So what can we do about it?

Sustainable communities are seeking to reduce consumption, minimize waste and maximize recycling all of the natural resources we consume daily. Introducing the 5 Rs, REFUSE (unnecessary items); REDUCE; REUSE; RECYCLE & ROT (home composting) are all ways we can help to do our part to create a more resilient future. As the only species that creates trash, learn why and how communities around the world are embracing creative programs in becoming more responsible caretakers and managing our society’s waste.

All people who share these values to live more sustainably, join other like-minded people who are making a difference in our community and all our futures.

Milford Public Library will partner with Synergy HomeCare in  hosting an elder care panel discussion on Tuesday April 3 from 6 to 8 pm. The panel discussion will include Jay Kiley, owner of  Synergy HomeCare, George Dewey, Community Relations from Altria in Stratford, Melissa Ladden, Director of Admissions and Marketing from Milford Health and Rehab, and Attorney Steven L. Rubin from Drazen Law.

            This expert panel will answer questions for seniors and their families who may be looking for some legal direction, living options, home care options, and information on facilities.

They will  offer information on “what to consider” when choosing housing and living arrangements for your loved one. The panel will also include financial and logistical implications of longer term care.

 If you're just getting started with genealogy, or even if you're a seasoned pro, this monthly workshop is filled with gems of information to help you with your family search.

Genealogist Greg Thompson will handle the presentation.

Free.   All are welcome.
