Naugatuck Parks Commission to Honor Three Community Members

Jay Kuczenski, Chairman of the Naugatuck Parks Commission, has announced that the Park Commission will be honoring members of our community by dedicating several Naugatuck fields. The field at Linden Park will be dedicated to Former Mayor Joan B. Taf to ackowledge how instrumental she was in the project that made the park what it is today during her term as mayor. They will also be dedicating the meadow at Gunntown Passive Park to the Former Mayor Robert C. Paolino for his part in acquiring Gunntown during his term as mayor. Finally, they dedicated the field at Fawn Meadow Park to Mr. Paul Bendler, Sr. for his contribution to the borough's youth organizations for many years on May 3.

Mrs. Taf, her family and friends (like me) will be present for her dedication. Although Mr. Paolino and Mr. Bendler are no longer with us, their friends and families will be present for their special dedications.

Mr. Bendler's dedication was held on May 3 at Fawn Meadow Park.

Mrs. Taf's dedication will be held on Saturday, May 10 at 11:00 am at Linden Park.

Mr. Paolino's dedication will be held on May 17 at 11:00 am at Gunntown Passive Park and Nature Preserve.
