the founder of this foundation is rude as hell and has no respect for others. I asked for the process of adoption a cute kitten I saw at my local pet smart and Enid was extremely rude about the situation for no reason and immediately gave me an attitude when I explained to her the situation. She made it seem like I was trying to adopt the cat to “gift” the kitten when I clearly stated it was a surprise for someone in my family but the family member would’ve only known the day of. I asked her the process about the adoption, I didn’t ask her for her opinion on my situation. I think she’s the most rude, disgusting person i’ve ever met and I feel bad to whoever has to put up with her nasty attitude at this so called foundation.

The CEF staff and volunteers I was honored to work with had 2 motivators: love for God and love for children. They seek to share the truth in love with any and all children that come to their offered clubs. It is optional. It requires parent permission. It is a huge blessing for many children and families. Praise the Lord for children getting to learn about God's love for them while they are young.

They do righteous work and will be rewarded in the afterlife.

Wish I had something good to say about WAG but I don't. They used to bring in broken leg dogs, get them fixed up and then get them adopted. Now, as far as I know, they do not take in broken leg dogs or greyhounds with health issues, yet they have over $100,000. in the bank. What they are saving that money for is anyone's guess. And the latest I've heard is that they have zero greyhounds available for adoption. It used to be a great greyhound adoption non-profit agency but things change unfortunately, especially for the greyhounds who need the help.

About a dozen years ago, I was hired as the chorale's first Administrative Director and working in that post for a number of years to streamline chorale activities and to assist with the chorale's first Strategic Plan. As time went on, I also began to sing with the chorale and still later my wife joined to sing, as well. We have both remarked that our experience singing with the chorale has greatly enriched our lives in so many ways. One of the tasks I took on was to organize the chorale's two European trips; the first to Vienna, Salzburg and Prague and the second to Italy where we sang in Rome, Florence and Venice. Both trips were truly awesome and we were greeted with warm applause in all venues and, in retrospect, I feel that both the audiences and the chorale experienced some magical musical moments which many of us will never forget. In order to feel those magical moments both here and abroad, the expert leadership of our Artistic Director, Joseph D'Eugenio has taught us so well and inspired us to new and different heights and fostered many adventures. The rigorous rehearsals and fine-tuning we are treated to assure that our audiences receive the highest quality of sound and interpretation of the many masterworks and newly commissioned compositions require. Being part of this wonderfully diverse group has evolved into a "family" of sorts, one we truly love and enjoy. Tuesday night rehearsals are in a word, exhilarating! As a 'senior citizen', I can attest to the fact that being involved in great choral singing is life-giving and renewing!<br>

A Push to Excel as a Community -<br>Why I Give to Sonia Plumb Dance Company<br>www.SoniaPlumbDance.org<br><br>I first learned about the Sonia Plumb Dance Company as a student at the University of Saint Joseph. They were Artist in Residence, a first for our school, and I was a student director of the dance program. We were fortunate enough to have the Artistic Director, Sonia Plumb, set a dance piece on our ensemble. She pushed us to excel, dig deeper into our capabilities, and to think and to work as an ensemble &ndash; as a community. I later learned that she asks that of everyone she works with, students, dancers, board members and volunteers. <br><br>Upon graduation, I joined the Board of Sonia Plumb Dance Company. As Board Members, she continues to ask us to excel, to dig deeper into our capabilities, to inquire how we can do better as a Company, as Artists, as Teachers, and as Leaders in the Community.<br><br>Sonia Plumb Dance Company enriches and educates the community through innovative, high quality, modern dance. Her vision reaches students from the inner city of Hartford to professors from around the state and further to artists and teachers across the nation. <br><br>The creative teaching methods and performances of the Company transform audiences through unique learning experiences and paths of inspiration. Bringing the community together through the pursuit of excellence. <br><br>As an educator, I know the importance of participating in the arts. Synapsis are fired, connections are made, work is created. The dancers of Sonia Plumb Dance Company are local teachers and performers who have a passion for interacting with the community and building dance based connections to curriculum that are rare to students.<br><br>I look forward to viewing the work the Company creates as I know it is something I can share with my students. Whether it be the connections to their media driven lives through Privacy Settings or the dark and mysterious tales of The Odyssey; the company never fails to impress and I am eager to challenge my students to view art as important and relevant to their course work. <br><br>As a donor, Board Member, and supporter of this program, I encourage you to share in the grand experience that is the Sonia Plumb Dance Company and support the chance for someone else to be inspired.

WHCTV - 'For the Community, by the Community'<br><br>What inspires me to give to West Hartford Community Television? The intense passion behind such a thankless cause. It's easy to rally around nonprofits that focus on homelessness, hunger, or illness...but when it comes to taking out your wallet - or time out of your schedule - to support your local station, people pause. 'What's so important about community television?' I asked the same thing when I was nudged into volunteering for the organization by my parents. Fast forward 10 years - after many hours of working cameras, crafting marketing, prepping for events, and discussing strategy - I know the answer.<br><br>If it weren&rsquo;t for community television, hundreds of students, interns, and volunteers (like me!) may have never gotten experience in the world of media, cultivating skills in camera operating, television production, and sound engineering that could inspire dedicated hobbies or even full-fledged careers. If it weren&rsquo;t for community television, countless show ideas would die as rough drafts on the page, lacking the nurturing and guidance of an experienced television crew as well as the dedicated airtime offered free by the station to any resident who requests it. If it weren&rsquo;t for community television, townspeople would have nowhere to turn to for an unbiased, organic source for news, politics, history, arts and events that make up the heart of our town. This organization is the essence of West Hartford - &ldquo;for the community, by the community&rdquo; as the motto says.<br><br>Supporting my local station means supporting free speech, creativity, knowledge, and the infectious passion of the WHCTV team that has grown and flourished over the past 35 years. If it weren&rsquo;t for community television, my town wouldn't be as great of a community.<br><br>(Visit the West Hartford Community Television website - http://whctv.org/ )

I've been supporting various charities centered on furthering the education of young people. I gravitated to the John Starks foundation due to the founder John Starks (NBA All Star and NY Knick Legend) hands on role. He has built a solid board of directors, hosts 3 main fundraisers per year and assists college bound students with college tuition. I will continue to demonstrate my support by attending their events and encouraging others to do so as well.

Love146 is an incredible organization doing some of the toughest work in regards to child trafficking. While IJM and other NGOs rescue young children out of sex trafficking, they bring the survivors to Love146 for long-term, holistic care that they themselves don't provide. Love146 is fighting the hardest battles on the forefront by implementing survivor care and prevention education programs. Few organizations, government agencies, or individuals take the time to fund or care about preventing trafficking and abuse from happening; Love146 does. If you are at all passionate about the issue, I would support Love146. They have offices in several countries and are growing to serve more and more children every day. I'm happy to support them as a donor and friend.

A wonderful group of volunteers that work side by side with the many fire houses in Greenwich. <br>They go through all the mandatory training and place them self in the line of danger for the purpose of protecting others and keep our community safe. BVFD volunteers have active and retired firefighters that brings so much to the table in keeping their mission "saving lives" and keeping people safe. <br>Thank you guys!

The Drum Corps closed down three years ago and is no longer operating or performing.

Female counselor is biased. Dismissed youth's input almost completely. Disrespectful, judgmental and unprofessional. This YOUTH counselor was actually therapy for an ADULT's who used her for confirmation of control and is master manipulator. Sessions here created additional family turmoil. <br> <br>Awful experience on many levels. Family in need of therapy from the therapy. <br> <br>FREE does not equal services.

The Candlewood Valley chapter of Trout Unlimited is a very active organization serving the towns of upper Fairfield County. The chapter has been responsible for numerous stream restoration project in Newtown and New Milford. It's programs for children including Trout in the Classroom and Youth Education Day are great ways to get the next generation of conservationists and anglers engaged. The club also does many fishing trips to help folks connect with the habitat that is so critical.

I'm an Australian aviation historian whose findings about Connecticut's aviation pioneer, Gustave Whitehead, were peer-reviewed earlier this year and recognized by both the world's highest aviation authority, JAWA, and a unanimous resolution of both houses of the Connecticut Assembly along with the State's Governor. Both withdrew first flight recognition from the Wright brothers and assigned it to Gustave Whitehead. <br>CAHA's involvement, so far, has been limited to snide remarks about me by one former and one current staff member on internet forums. Both have publicly made factually incorrect statements about Gustave Whitehead, thus disqualifying them personally and reflecting badly on the institution they represent. Both appear to also have made factually incorrect statements about inquiries their organisation has conducted in the past. I therefore appeal to other members of the organisation to take measures appropriate to ensure the organization's legitimacy before it becomes necessary for outside investigations to take the initiative. <br>The Organisation has taken the unusual step of sealing files of historical interest to researchers. This would appear to be at odds with the Code of Ethics of Museums and its own charter.

I spent so much time dedicated to the YWCA in Greewncih, raising funds from donation for years. After putting my heart and soul into to this organization, I was greatly disappointed by how they handle their affairs and even more how they treat their employees. In essence it is great organization, but awful politics overcome its principles and leave a terrible ache in one's heart.

This Foundation is a leader in supporting the Rotary Foundation of Rotary International through raising funds with its 20 year old Hamden Rotary Convention Tours. For example, the Hamden Foundation gave the RI Polio Plus campaign $100,000, which was the highest per capita gift of any Club in the world. Rotarians attending these tours provide support to Rotary projects all over the world at no additional cost to themselves as the middleman profit from the tours instead goes to the projects of Rotary.
