Honored
The American Legion Post 67 in North Grosvenordale recently presented Jill St. Cyr the Volunteerism of the Year Award. St. Cyr is a Thompson resident and founder of the It Starts At Home Foundation that helps local families in both northeastern Connecticut and southeastern Massachusetts families with things such as winter coats, shoes, and the crock pot program showing school-age children how to prepare meals for their families using donated crock pots and ingredients. She has also volunteered her time on many events at the American Legion. The award was presented to her at her new bistro Jill & G’s Bistro on Main Street.
