Catch the Big Pittsfield MA Live This 4th of July 2018.The Star Spangled Banner was sung clear as a bell by Linda Billow.

I did some outreach about my late teen son Kaelan  Palmer Paton who passed saving friends from the Housatonic River in Fals Village and Salisbury Ct in June 2009. I wanted to reverence the many connections, mostly wonderful and positive that happen for people along the banks of the same river.

of such a system which can be created

on small or much larger scales, for individuals, groups or commercial uses.

For starters let me share the websites

that I learned of at a free workshop sponsored by The Sharon Conservation Committee

With all the exciting festive events that make the summer remarkable in our tri-corner MA/NY CT area, one of the unique offerings that was attended by about a hundred people was a comprehensive introduction to Domestic Abuse and Violence by Women's Support Services of Sharon CT. The event was hosted by TRIAD and held at the Bitterman Center in North Canaan CT, part of a  series of offerings, the last one on gun violence.

As for local events we all want to attend so we have a better chance of 'bumping into our neighbors' and seeing amazing cars, put The Falls Village Car Show on your calendar for July 8th, 2018. PM me if you want to help me with my community-networking booth I will have (a place to post community events, with a summarized list to help people remember dates, times and consider inviting friends who may not have time to figure out the deets.)
