The Veterans & Military Affairs Committee is hosting an informational hearing on Wednesday, November 8, at the Legislative Office Building in Hartford, Room 2C, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. 

During this period, individuals can enroll for the first time, renew their coverage, and explore the various policy options to see which will be the most beneficial. 

I have a lot of information to share with you this week!

A few highlights:

National Mammography Day - have you scheduled your mammogram? Early detection saves lives. 

October is National Principals Month and we're honoring the hard work of the principals here in Ridgefield.

Ridgefield Police will be a drop-off point for the DEA's National Drug Take Back Day on October 28.

Our local Meals on Wheels program is looking for volunteers.

$500,000 in state funding has been approved for the replacement of the Mountain Road culvert.

So much to share with you - special session, STEAP grant for Ridgefield, new voting machines, paying down the long-term pension debt, events, seeking legislative interns, and more!

On October 4, FEMA & the FCC will run a nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System around 2:20 p.m. Your cell phones, TVs, and radios will be included in this test.
