‘Community Conversations’ Returns to Town Center Wednesday

Stratford Community Conversations returns to the center of town next Wednesday, Jan. 31, 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at First Congregational Church, 2301 Main Street. Join your fellow Stratford residents and community leaders to discuss life in Stratford and issues in a positive, non-critical way. Use the red doors on the Church Street side of the church to enter.

Priority One will be discussion topics brought by attendees, as usual. If there is time for other topics, we may touch on ideas for improving Stratford Public Schools.

The most recent Community Conversations meeting on Jan. 10 attracted a cross section of residents and Town officials, 28 in all, for the one-hour public discussion. Sitting among the residents in the circular set-up of chairs were the Town’s Director of Community and Senior Services, one of Stratford’s State Representatives, a member of the Stratford Inland Wetlands Commission, a member of the Stratford Zoning Board of Appeals, a member of the Town Council, a Stratford Registrar of Voters, and a Stratford Police Captain. Attendance normally ranges from 25 to 40 people.

All Stratford residents, businesspeople, community leaders, government leaders and staff, and others are invited. Attendees may simply listen or join the discussion. We start and end promptly. There is no charge to attend. For more information: GPReilly@optonline.net
