From the First Selectman
As we close out the fiscal year, I want to take a moment to extend my heartfelt thanks to all the employees and volunteers who serve the Town of Eastford. Your dedication and hard work throughout the year are what keep our community running smoothly and effectively for all residents. Thank you for your continued commitment.
We are pleased to announce that Eastford has a new Municipal Veteran Representative. After many years of dedicated service, Jennifer Willich has stepped down from her role as Municipal Veteran Agent. We are grateful for her time, effort, and devotion to supporting the veterans of Eastford.
Please join us in welcoming Garry Brown as our new Municipal Veteran Representative. Garry will be available at the Town Office Building (lower level) on the first Tuesday of each month from 3:30 to 5 p.m. He can assist veterans and their families with questions about VA benefits, healthcare, military records or medals, disability compensation, and the Soldiers, Sailors, and Marines Fund. Appointments are preferred, but walk-ins are welcome. These services are provided at no cost, and all conversations are strictly confidential. Garry can be reached at 860-928-2309 or [email protected].
Looking ahead, on Sept. 13, Eastford will host a Liberty Tree Dedication in honor of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. This event is being held in collaboration with Mark Sheldon, CT President of the Sons of the American Revolution, and Eastford Elementary School. A full uniformed color guard will be present for the dedication of a Liberty Tree and granite plaque, which will be installed behind the school. For event updates and additional details, please visit the Town’s website, www.eastfordct.gov, and our official Facebook page - Town of Eastford, CT.
