Greetings!
Our wonderful supporters made December an amazing month for all of us at
Homes for the Brave
,
Female Soldiers: Forgotten Heroes
, and
Waldorf House
. The men and women that reside in our houses were remembered in an incredibly special way as businesses, families, individuals, and organizations came from all over Connecticut and beyond with gifts for them as well as for their children and grandchildren.
As we begin 2019, January promises to be an exciting month as plenty of special visitors are scheduled for meals and events, including Governor-Elect Ned Lamont and his Transition Team in advance of his Inauguration. We will end January with a flourish as our first-ever
Bingo for the Brave
will be held at Vazzano's Four Seasons on Thursday, January 31. Complete details can be found later on in this edition of
The Perimeter
. We look forward to you joining us.
Here's wishing all of you and yours a happy and healthy 2019!
