Walk to End Alzheimer's

I had a great day participating in the Walk to End Alzheimer's this weekend at Ocean Beach Park! I was so glad to welcome State Representative Jane Garibay to our wonderful community. This past legislative session, Rep. Garibay led the fight to require health insurance to cover biomarker testing. Together we will cure Alzheimer’s. 
 
Texting Scam Alert

The Connecticut Department of Revenue Services (DRS) is alerting everyone of a new scam where criminals impersonate the DRS with fraudulent text messages. They claim that you are owed a tax refund and must provide banking and other information to receive the money.

The DRS will NEVER send taxpayers a text message or seek to obtain information from taxpayers via text. If you have information on a tax-related scam, contact DRS by completing a referral form on the agency’s website.

Taxpayers with questions are encouraged to reach out to DRS at 860-297-5962, Monday through Friday, between 8:30 A.M. and 4:30 P.M. or by email at DRS@ct.gov.
 
Your Guide to Peak Fall Foliage

Now that fall has arrived, Connecticut is about to glow with autumn color! Here’s what to expect and how to make the most of it:

  • Litchfield Hills / Northwest CT: tends to peak earlier, so early October is ideal there
  • Hartford & Central CT: mid‑October is often prime
  • Connecticut River Valley: the color can linger a bit, making it great in mid‑to‑late October
  • Coastal & Shoreline areas: later in October, sometimes up until Halloween

Click here for the full CT Fall Foliage Report so you know peak viewing times in each area of the state.

The CT Tourism Office has some great ideas on how to enjoy the season, click here for CT's Fall Foliage Road Trip Guide and links to hiking trails and click here for seven different CT Fall Foliage Drive Loops around the state and the peak times to take them.

Don’t miss your chance to soak in the season’s beauty!
