The Community Foundation of Eastern Connecticut (CFECT) is committed to hearing the voices of residents and convening state leaders, experts and communities to discuss issues affecting Eastern Connecticut. In recent years, the CFECT has held Thriving Community Conversations on women, arts, youth, animal welfare and environmental issues, as well as Connecticut’s fiscal crisis and its impact on the nonprofit sector in our region.
The next LeadingTOGETHER Thriving Community Conversation will be held at the Phoebe Griffin Noyes Old Lyme Library on Tuesday, June 4, from 4 to 5:30 p.m. The discussions will help to inform and inspire the Foundation’s work while offering the opportunity for participants to think creatively about community solutions, sparking new or deeper connections to lead together for change.
In addition, the Phoebe Griffin Noyes Old Lyme Library will be sharing information about their current and upcoming programs and invite community members to engage in further conversations and opportunities.
All Old Lyme and Lyme residents are invited to join the conversation. Those interested in attending should RSVP by email to [email protected] or call Pam Mola at 860.442.3572.
