About the FCA Guidance Center: FCA serves
the city of Danbury and several towns as far east as Waterbury with free
counseling, guidance, and group homes. Founded in 1809, the agency has been a
refuge for abused and neglected children who are without protection, without
parental support, and without hope. More than just offering food and clothing,
FCA strives to heal and support Connecticut's children and families. Their
clinical staff was first on scene at the firehouse following the Sandy Hook
shooting.
About
the Connecticut Choral Society: CCS, established in 1980, was recently named by
WTIC as one of the top five choral ensembles in the state. The 75-member
auditioned chorus has appeared at Carnegie Hall and has toured in Eastern
Europe, Canada, England, China, and Australia. In June they will be presenting
concerts in France in commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the Normandy
invasion.
