<table><tbody><tr><td>On a July morning in 1779, more than 2500 British and Hessian troops stormed ashore on both sides of New Haven Harbor in a coordinated invasion. Ann McGuire, President of the Friends of Fort Wooster, joins The Branford Historical Society to share the story of that 36-hour battle...of the British officer who died reaching for a wounded enemy, of the 19- militiamen who held Black Rock Fort until their powder ran out, and how on the hillside east of the harbor, now Fort Wooster Park, citizen defenders fought British regulars to a standstill. Come hear how a merchant town with no real army bloodied a professional invasion force on two hills at once.</td></tr></tbody></table>

A monthly, weeknight diversion for guitar and music 
enthusiasts! Connect with others and explore where the classical music 
world and the guitar world overlap. In classical guitar music we find 
guitar music's deepest roots which can open a path to a &nbsp;deeper 
understanding of the guitar world&nbsp;in general. Before there was jazz, 
folk, &nbsp;pop, country, and rock guitar there was classical guitar. Neal 
will present&nbsp;a program every month featuring music from&nbsp;the vast and 
magnificent body of work for the classical guitar as well his own 
original music for guitar. The series centers on performances, 
discussions, instruction, and more! Led by local guitarist and teacher 
Neal Fitzpatrick.&nbsp;
About Neal Fitzpatrick Neal Fitzpatrick, a Connecticut native,&nbsp;received his BM degree from the Hartt School-University of Hartford&nbsp;and
 his Masters degree from the Yale School of Music. He is an active 
soloist and chamber musician, and has performed at diverse venues such 
as Yale Art Gallery, Woolsey Hall with the New Haven Symphony, and 92nd 
St. Y in New York City. He teaches out of his studio in Branford,CT 
where he teaches all styles and levels of guitar. He also teaches banjo,
 mandolin, bass guitar and pretty much anything with strings and frets. 
When taking a break from music Neal can be found reading about American

Tantien Integrative Medicine

Tantien Integrative Medicine is a specialized, physician-led practice located in Branford, Connecticut, dedicated to providing root-cause care, lifestyle and longevity medicine for adults across the Greater New Haven region and the Connecticut shoreline. Led by Dr. Laura Tavernier, MD, the practice offers a highly personalized approach by limiting its patient base to 100 individuals, ensuring that every client receives the dedicated time and attention required for complex health concerns. With 34 years of clinical experience, Dr. Tavernier is board-certified in integrative medicine and fellowship-trained at the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine. The practice specializes in managing chronic conditions such as Lyme disease, autoimmune disorders, digestive issues, chronic fatigue, and brain fog. By utilizing advanced 3x4 Genetics testing, the team creates tailored treatment plans that address individual biological needs regarding inflammation, hormones, and stress, rather than relying on standardized, symptom-based prescriptions. Patients can expect a comprehensive 90-minute initial consultation designed to uncover the full history of their health rather than just a list of symptoms. This commitment to deep, individualized care ensures that every treatment plan is uniquely built for the patient's specific body, fostering a collaborative and thorough path toward improved wellness. At Tantien Integrative Medicine, I partner with somatic educator and Oxygen Advantage®–certified breathwork instructor Nicole Tavernier, creator of The Functional Living Method™ and the State Flexibility™ framework. Through The Functional Living Method™, Nicole offers somatic movement education, functional breath work, and nervous-system–focused support to help clients build regulation, resilience, and state flexibility — in person at our Branford office and virtually for clients worldwide.
