We will be collecting food for the Milford Senior Center Food Pantry at the October 25 general membership meeting. Please bring at least one canned or dry food item, or more if you can. The Senior Center houses a food pantry for all Milford residents, and many families depend on this service to make it through the week. Current foods that are needed:Canned goods: Stew, spaghetti sauce, pasta, coffee, peanut butter, jelly, pancake mix, pancake syrup, granola bars, tea bags, juice and gravy mixes, soups, etc. Please check expiration dates to be sure none are outdated. If you have any questions please contact Nancy Smith at (203) 937-6330.

I want to thank all of our volunteers for a successful festival. A special thank-you goes out to our Co-Chairs, Jenn Hussey, Ed Mead, and Marty Hardiman, and to the individual chairs for each area.

It takes a tremendous amount of work and coordination to run a festival. We could not do it without the help of each and every one of you! It is a grand feeling when we all work together for the good of the festival, and ultimately, our club.
