8/21/15: TGIF

Just read a note and wanted to share one of the lines: "Nonprofits are essential and integral to a thriving community". In our community we are so fortunate to have many non-profits that serve the needs and interests of so many each and every day. Pause a moment and think about how our lives are touched by these organizations. It is pretty awesome and it makes this area a thriving and vibrant place to live, work, raise a family, enjoy and contribute to a strong sense of community. Nice to ponder these thoughts as we wind down the week.

8/11/15: Award of Appreciation from the ARC

Account Manager Lou Cassano presents Litchfield Community Center's Executive Director Berta Andrulis Mette an "Award of Appreciation from the American Red Cross"  in recognition of the Community Center's sponsorship of blood drives held at The Community Center.

The partnership spans over 15 years and in 2014 alone, 394 donations were made which impacted 1182 lives.

Lou acknowledged the Community Center's staff, the many local Red Cross volunteers and all the dedicated donors in our community, who have generously contributed to the remarkable success of these drives. We join him in gratitude! 

The next blood drive will be held on Tuesday, October 6.
