Congratulations to the many graduates. It’s so rewarding to achieve and so deserving to celebrate, and be celebrated. On page 6, note the aspiring goal of Rachael Sampson, a Preston graduate who wants to find a cure for Parkinson’s disease.
To all, keep up the good work. Learning never stops when you keep your eyes and ears open.
Congratulations for achievements or pursuits of different kinds go to many others. You will find numerous reasons in this issue to say “Well done,” “Good for you,” or “thank you for being you.” There’s one example on page 2, which highlights the Dime Bank as recipient of a five-star rating.
We all benefit when our banks win high marks. People’s Bank, page 28, deserves a hearty applause. Chelsea Groton Foundation distributed $60,775 among 21 local non-profit organizations serving SE CT and Westerly, RI…another hearty applause on page 10.
Entertainment opportunities are everywhere. Don’t miss the annual rose show, sponsored by the Woman’s City Club, from 1-3 p.m., June 16th at the Rose City Senior Center, page 26.
Also on June 16th, 88-year-old Louise Neistat and Margo Neistat will perform at the Garde Arts Center in New London, page 14. Yes, Louise dances – tapping just as she did in her days as a Rockette.
Boating season is underway and the fish are jumping. The Resident welcomes back Captain Allen Fee who will share local fish tales with you all season long, page 25. Patrick R. Norton emphasizes boating safety on page 24.
Get ready to see lots of cycling. Adam Barbee explains the good-cause purpose, page 16, the same page where, Kristi Randmetz focuses on Westerly and Sandy Gold who paints pets for a good cause. Earl Heath writes about author Anthony Holden’s take on poker on page 17. And, just for magical fun, read Mary Beth Getka’s coverage of David Copperfield and his “illusions that defy logic,” page 15.
