POMFRET — Under the direction of Team Leaders Shawn Johnston and Ana Alfaro, more than 20 volunteers from Eversource and Asplundh arrived bright and early at the Windham County 4-H Outdoor Center in Pomfret on October to participate in a community service day.
After fortifying themselves with a hearty breakfast prepared by 4-H Foundation volunteer board members, they headed off with bucket trucks, a tractor, and lots of muscle to do tree work, address two electrical safety issues, build some steps into the berm in front of the lodge to control erosion issues there and to restain benches for use this summer.
In appreciation, Eversource was given a one-week overnight campership to award to some child who might not otherwise be able to attend. Shawn Johnston said that when we gave them a similar campership two years ago, they donated it to a TEEG auction. Money bid on it went to TEEG and the person who won the bid turned around and gave the certificate to TEEG to give to one of their young clients.
Johnston was also presented with a “blast from the past” sweatshirt that board member Louise Pempek found in her closet recently.
