In our last conversation we mapped the relationships between different civic, religious, municipal and private organizations in town, creating a large VENN diagram on the floor with Hula hoops and yarn. In response to a request by some of the participants, our next conversation will focus on deepening the connections between nonprofit organizations in East Haddam for better connections, coordination and sharing of resources. The event will also include a volunteer expo. The expo is geared towards families as well as individuals. Children are welcome as well as neurodivergent families. You can meet representatives from local nonprofits gathered in one place and sign up to volunteer. If you are a community nonprofit or organization that relies on volunteers, please email sustainability.team@easthaddam.org or amaliashaltiel@gmail.com. And please spread the word as we work towards a thriving and engaged community.
