Gentle Mindfulness Yoga 

Let Dawn guide you through gentle yoga moves that are perfect for all levels. Learn breathing and relaxation techniques to take off the mat and out into the real world. Enjoy some stretching and leave class feeling calm and rejuvenated!

Affectionately known as SOOP, Seat Of Our Pants has ascended to the forefront of the Connecticut roots music scene with award winning, heartfelt, and clever songs that put a smile on your face, a tear in your eye, and get you thinking about the world around you. From sellout shows at The Buttonwood Tree, to the grand stage at Mohegan Sun’s Wolf Den, to Podunk Bluegrass Festival, and many of the premiere listening rooms around the state, SOOP never disappoints their audiences. The unique mix of instruments, and impeccable intricate harmonies, distinguish Connecticut’s one-of-a-kind SOOP. Their cornucopia of folk instruments and rock-infused songwriting are a contagiously fun experience. 

I will be working directly with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) in preparation for a walk around the Town Green for those affected by suicide, and those who support them, to raise awareness and much-needed funds, strongly sending the message that suicide can be prevented, and that no one is alone. I am hopeful the Town will grant me permission SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2025 to have access to the Town Green in an effort to conduct our Out of the Darkness Community Walk to convey awareness, save lives and bring hope.

The New Milford High School Athletic Hall of Fame will soon announce its Class of 2025 inductees.

As many as six former Green Wave student/athletes, possibly as well as a coach and/or team, will be honored Oct. 18 at Fairview Farm Golf Course in Harwinton.

Banquet ticket information, either online via Eventbrite or by check, will be announced in coming weeks at nmhsahof.org and in local media.

Soon after the 2025 inductees have been selected, full bios and plenty of photos will be posted on the AHOF website.
