Sponsor
OXFORD, Mass. — bankHometown announced its $6,500 co-sponsorship of The Hanover Theatre and Conservatory for the Performing Arts’ presentation of “Come From Away”, that ran from April 11–13 in Worcester.
Exploring expansion
Lois Bruinooge, executive director of The Last Green Valley, recently spoke to the Putnam Rotary Club about the organization’s hopes for its future. Currently the group is on the second floor of a commercial building in downtown Danielson. “Not a tree in sight.”
The organization is exploring partnering with the state of Connecticut’s Department of Energy and Environment to create a new home in the James L. Goodwin State Forest in Hampton. This is a long-term plan but one she sounded excited about.
