Le Chateau

Join us for an unforgettable evening in your finest denim as we come together to celebrate the power of home and the impact we can make as a community.
Throughout the night, you’ll hear from one of our newest family, Carolyn and Rashad, who will share how having a safe, stable home will forever change the life of their autistic daughter and strengthen their family’s future. It’s a powerful reminder of why this work matters and the real lives behind every home we build, renovate, or repair.
We are also proud to recognize our 2026 Builder of Hope Honoree, Lisa Weisenberger. As the founder of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/discoverdanbury/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Discover Danbury &amp; Candlewood Lake</a>, Lisa has created a local networking and community engagement group that brings people together, supports local businesses, elevates nonprofit organizations, and inspires meaningful community involvement. She leads, she serves, and she inspires.
This year’s event is especially meaningful as we celebrate 35 years of Housatonic Habitat for Humanity and 50 years of Habitat for Humanity International, milestones that reflect decades of opening the door to homeownership, hope, stability, and opportunity for families in our community.
Every moment of the evening supports our work to provide safe, affordable housing and the resources families need to thrive. Because when we build homes, we build something far greater. We build futures.
Our work extends far beyond construction. Housatonic Habitat families participate in financial wellness and homeownership education designed to help them build strong financial foundations, prepare for the responsibilities of homeownership, and achieve long-term stability for generations to come.
Reserve your seat, secure a sponsorship, place a program ad, or donate an auction item, and be part of building something far more than just a house.
When: Thursday, October 1, 2026, at 6:00 PM
Where: Le Chateau, 1410 Old Post Road (Route 35), South Salem, NY 10590
Evening Includes: Cocktail Hour • Seated Dinner • Live &amp; Silent Auctions • Inspiring Stories
And don’t forget to come dressed in your best denim!

Any adult who has helped a learner—formally or informally—has access to two useful voices: a “Teacher Voice” that provides instruction, information, and sometimes step-by-step directions, and an “Executive Function Coach Voice” that invites thinking, problem-solving, and&nbsp;ownership.
Both are important. The key is knowing which voice the learner needs in the moment — when to step in with direction and when to step back and make room for&nbsp;thinking.
Join Cognition and Learning Teacher and Executive Function Coach Robyn Greenspan, Cognition and Learning Head of Department Brittany Bloom-Price, and Director of Cognition and Learning Dr. Kristin Simmers as they share research-informed strategies that work for learners of all ages, with a&nbsp;focus&nbsp;on:
<ul><li>A clear, plain-language understanding of executive function&nbsp;coaching</li><li>How to recognize when to use Teacher Voice and EF Coach&nbsp;Voice</li><li>Specific language shifts that encourage thinking, problem-solving, and&nbsp;ownership</li><li>Practical strategies that can be used at home and at&nbsp;school</li></ul>Register here: <a href="https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_D1qWlcZ4Sj-1heuQsg7ElQ" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_D1qWlcZ4Sj-1heuQsg7ElQ</a>

The Pardue Brothers – A True Crime Documentary with Connecticut Ties, holding “Tell Us What You Remember” sessions in Danbury
Come share your memories and stories for an upcoming true crime documentary about the 1970 Danbury bank robberies and bombings. The production team will sit down with you for a brief recorded interview, and you are welcome to bring along any historical photographs, clippings, or letters to be documented. Attendance is free and no appointment is required.
The Pardue Brothers – A True Crime Documentary with Connecticut Ties, holding “Tell Us What You Remember” sessions in Danbury
On February 13, 1970, three explosions tore through Danbury, CT.This was to be the finale of a stranger than fiction story, involving 2 brothers, that started in 1968 which involved bank robberies and murders in locations in Redding, Georgetown, and Vista, New York, as well as Missouri. Two of the murders were the brothers’ own father and grandmother. 
Filmmaker, Blaze Mazur of Ridgefield, CT and Daniel J. Mulvihill, Jr., of Danbury, have extensively researched this story for over half a decade, having poured over thousands of pages of FBI files, National Archive materials, and filing FOIA requests with more than 20 agencies.They are still discovering many strange and unbelievable facts about this case and need local help from people who remember these crimes to bring the whole picture into focus before the memories of these crimes are lost forever. 
The pair will be holding a second “Tell Us What You Remember” session. The session will be on Friday, October 2 at the Danbury Museum also from 10am to 4pm. What the documentary makers are looking for are people who remember- a lead, a photograph, a clipping or those who want to give an interview on camera. They wish to tell this story truthfully so that the victims and their loved one, the witnesses and law enforcement are honored and their story is respected. 
To bring this film to full fruition, a fundraising effort is underway. The project is fiscally sponsored by Fractured Atlas, which makes your contributions and corporate donations tax-deductible.
For information on the film and to contribute please go to theparduebrothers.com&nbsp;If you have any questions or would like to write to us directly you can do that at info@theparduebrothers.com


Thank you for helping make this film possible.
