Essex Meadows Receives Kindness Gifts of Flowers And Art

ESSEX, CT — A new group, that calls itself the Family Club of the Connecticut River Valley, was interested in doing a service project to help those in the tri-town community affected by covid restrictions. According to Stefanie Hill, the administrative vice president for the group, they decided that flowers and kid artwork would be a great way to bring a smile and brighten the days of those living in care facilities during this gloomy, end-of-winter stretch.
