The bake sale has taken place, and together with online donations and proceeds from our fundraiser,…Read More we raised a total of $610 DOLLARS!!! You have contributed to providing nearly FIVE THOUSAND meals to those in needs, exceeding our goal of $500 and proving to us that we can make a difference, one person at a time.
Natalie and I offer our sincerest gratitude towards you all... without each one of you we couldn't have created this positive impact for those in need. Thank you for helping to make our vision a reality, and may you be blessed with the same generosity that you have shown for our cause.
Thank you all,
Zach Heyde and Natalie Nelson

I wanted to reach out to the bicycle community and let them know about a kickstarter that I am…Read More launching to fund a month long road trip to finish the shooting for my ghost bike project. Hopefully, you forward and repost this link and maybe even become a backer (every dollar helps). I greatly appreciate you taking the time to look at this link and pass it along.

Hey, Connecticuters, check out simple and effective bike safety initiative we started here in…Read More Albany, CA - www.CheckForBikes.org . It sounds like motorists could use more awareness that they have to share the road with cyclists and these vinyl clings are a good place to start. Please look at the site and contact me through it or through AlbanyPatch.com .
Let's make sure that THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN!

Find the key decision-makers, and send them e-mails describing the deficiencies, along with detailed…Read More information on how to resolve the issues. Ask for a response, and an update. Also try calling their agencies, and be prepared to explain the situation and solution.
Be persistent, and patient, while not letting the issue rest. This is road repair season and the crews are out.
Here's some incentive:

The Noroton Fire Department would like to extend its thanks and gratitude to the Darien community…Read More and our sponsors for their support of our annual Block Party fundraiser. On Saturday evening, over 1,000 families, friends and supporters of NFD attended a fun filled evening of live entertainment, great food, drink and camaraderie at the field across from Hindley Elementary School. It is through events like this, where we are able to connect with the community that makes the sacrifices we willingly make, all worthwhile.
We would not be able to hold this important fundraising event without the generous help of our sponsors including: All Seasons Marine Works, The Darien Sport Shop, Palmer’s Market, Darien Car Clinic, Chuck’s Steakhouse, Fish Tales Seafood Company, Papa Joe’s Italian Restaurant, Lanphier Day Spa, Ed Fitzmaurice from Anheuser Busch, City Carting, De Yulio’s Sausage Company and Al Lababca from Impression Point.
