The East Winds- Valentines Day Edition 2/14/2020

 View From Church and Main-

         So Much Excitement in East Windsor and the Region this week and coming up!

     This week we not only had a Great TVCA Networking event at hosted by fellow TVCA Chamber Bradley Regional but Luppoleto Brewing was the perfect spot for FUN and Networking. Thanks to Both for making all members of the TVCA feel Welcome.

(Don’t forget that the TVCA CARES Regional Pantry Drive ends tomorrow-be sure and drop off your donation)

         Then at EWCC’s Monthly Business/Board of Directors meeting we had East Windsor’s 1st Selectman Jason Bowzsa visit offering a Great Opportunity for Our Business Community to advertise while providing the Community with Information in the form of a Quarterly Town Newsletter.(more info will be forthcoming).

          At that same meeting we had Miranda Hamidovic of A New England Auto & Truck Superstore voted in as our newest member of Our Board of Directors. EWCC President Paul Vella commented”It is excellent that Miranda has joined the Board.She will be asset for Our Board,Our Members and The Community”.

       Last night I attended the “Struggle with Transportation” discussion held at the Community Room at Mill Pond Village presented by East Windsor (HAT)Hunger Action Team, Foodshare and East Windsor Human Services.

       The program was informative and residents discussed how we need to try and provide Public Transportation for our Seniors,Disabled and those looking for Jobs.

      1st Selectman Jason Bowzsa said that it will be possibly a long process(dealing with grants etc)but the process has begun.

       Selectman Marie DeSousa was also present and provided some excellent ideas as well. A 2nd meeting will be planned shortly.

      For Valentines Day Celebration check out what the Nutmeg is offering for you and your special someone in press releases below and don’t miss Abby’s Helping Hand Winter Gala at Maneeleys Banquet or the Winters Artists Market this weekend at Agonist Gallery which will showcase Local Artists-admission to see is free.

     Next week the EWCC Staff will be off for Presidents Day but the Broad Brook Library will be open.

    Coming soon are informative programs at the Warehouse Point Library, Open House 2020 at Merlot on the Water, Farming for the Future Summit, NCCCC Home and Product Show(still time to sign up to be a Vendor).

    New to the Calendar is the 13th Annual Greater Hartford Women’s Conference,East Windsor Farmers Coffee and 37th Annual Walk Against Hunger.

   Also please Join Us June 10th at East Windsor Chamber’s 25th Annual meeting where the EWCC will Celebrate/Salute  the Syme Family Farm as East Windsor Business of the Year 2020.

   This event will be held at one  East Windsor Newest Revitalized Landmarks the Broad Brook Opera House with Tasty Appetizers provided by Merlot on the Water.

   2020 is certainly becoming the Year when we can continue to say;

      East Windsor “Where the Sun Rises” on Business & Community.

   Lastly I have to wish My Bride Barbara a Happy 35th Valentines Day- I know,I know many wonder how does she put up with me.
