STAFFORD SPRINGS, CT – The acclaimed a cappella

support of Safe Net Ministries.

Take Note! performs Sunday, October 25, 2026, at 3:00
p.m. at Grace Episcopal Church, located at 7 Spring Street,
Stafford Springs, CT.

As a long‑standing community nonprofit, serving residents
facing food insecurity in northeastern Connecticut, Safe Net Ministries operates
a vital food pantry that provides nutritious groceries, household essentials,
and compassionate support to individuals and families in need. Through
partnerships with Food Share, local businesses, and dedicated volunteers, the
organization distributes hundreds of food boxes each year and ensures reliable
access to healthy meals. Safe Net also connects families with seasonal programs
such as school supply drives, holiday support, and emergency aid. During colder
months, the organization offers referrals for energy assistance to help
households stay warm and safe. To learn more about services, volunteer
opportunities, or ways to contribute, visit safenetministries.com.

With demand rising and funding urgently needed to sustain
these services, donations to Safe Net Ministries will be gratefully accepted at
the door.

Take Note! is a volunteer 20‑voice a cappella ensemble based
in Mansfield, comprised of select, talented local singers who enjoy challenging
and diverse musical styles. Under the artistic direction of Linda Tracy, Take
Note! performs without charge for the benefit of nonprofit organizations
throughout Eastern Connecticut. The ensemble’s mission expresses this vision
well: “Through performances in support of charitable endeavors, we are
raising spirits, raising voices, raising hope.”
