Dear Neighbor,

Remembering 9/11
Next Thursday, we remember the 2,996 lives lost on September 11, 2001, the thousands who have died since due to exposure to toxic chemicals, and the countless lives that were forever changed. May we never forget the people whose lives were stolen from us through this act of terror, and all of the first responders, construction crews, service members, and everyday citizens who saved lives and helped our country rebuild.

 

Though we move further away from that fateful day each year, we must continue to honor those Americans we lost and never stop the fight against terror and for peace.

I had the great opportunity with colleagues to stop by Mitchell College City of New London, Connecticut. Thank you to President Espy and Mitchell College for the invite to join them for Mitchell College 2025 Convocation to welcome new students and officially begin the academic year. It was great to meet, hear from and chat with students about goals and dreams.

Article about Wesley and Jasmine Collins
I hope you'll take the time to read this great article from The Day about our neighbors Wesley and Jasmine Collins.

I’ve had the honor of knowing Wesley Collins and Jasmine Collins for years, and I couldn’t be more proud to see their story highlighted. They are living examples of resilience, faith, and what it means to give back to community. Their journey from struggle to transformation shows the power of perseverance and love, and it’s inspiring to watch how they continue to invest in others while building a better life for themselves and their family. Wesley and Jasmine are truly the kind of people who make New London stronger.
