Carriage Barn Arts Center

The New Canaan Democratic Town Committee is inviting the community to its barbecue fundraiser on Sunday, Sept. 27 at the Carriage Barn, an annual event that provides residents with the opportunity to meet and discuss key issues with the top elected party officials and candidates running to serve New Canaan in the upcoming elections.
In keeping with its theme, “Leading with Light,” the day’s menu will feature thoughtful and wide-ranging discussions of the important issues and topics affecting Connecticut while attendees enjoy an array of barbecued offerings, salads and drink options. The event begins at 4 p.m. and runs until 7 p.m.
Based on previous barbecues, the event is expected to draw top federal and state officials, among them U.S. Sens. Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy, and U.S. Rep. Jim Himes.
On the state level, past attendees have included Governor Ned Lamont, Lt. Governor Susan Bysiewicz, Attorney General William Tong, Secretary of the State Stephanie Thomas, Comptroller Sean Scanlon and State Treasurer Erick Russell. Statewide officials will be joined by candidates for New Canaan’s state Senate and House districts who will be available to discuss their positions and ideas for lighting Connecticut’s way forward.
General Assembly candidates include: Meredith Tobitsch (125th House District); Jill Oberlander (36th Senate District); Weston First Selectwoman Sam Nestor (26th Senate District); State Rep. Lucy Dathan (142nd House District); and State Rep. Savet Constantine (42nd House District). 
Live music will provide a backdrop for the event that enables New Canaan voters to meet their officials and candidates, enjoy conversations with neighbors and friends and learn about the important issues affecting the state in a consequential election year. 
Admission is $90 per person, with kids under 18 admitted free. To sign up, click on the <a href="https://daycampaign.com/Donation/Index/421?dLink=1f94cb4a-1e07-48e9-a8b8-4fe71e23939b" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">link</a> here.

This Sunday &nbsp;Rev. Terri will lead us through a service entitled: With Love Stitched in From the Beginning. &nbsp;As she explains:&nbsp;"Our lives contain so many rips and tears. How do we practice mending and forgiveness of ourselves and others? When there has been so much hurt, how do we begin again in love?"

HMTX House Up On The Hill

Simone Morris Enterprises to Honor Six Leaders and Teams at Its Signature Awards Celebration in Norwalk, CT
Join us on Wednesday, October 7, 2026, for an evening of recognition, connection, and community at HMTX in Norwalk — celebrating the leaders and teams who make room for everyone.
Now in its fourth year, the Inclusive Leadership Impact Awards (ILIA) brings together leaders, changemakers, and community members to honor the people building workplaces and communities where everyone belongs. The evening features the awards presentation alongside food, beverages, live music, and networking with a room full of leaders committed to inclusive impact.
This year's celebration recognizes six honorees across six categories:
<ul><li>Senator Bob Duff — Luminary Award</li><li>Natasha Agarwal — Visionary Voice Award</li><li>Breion Moses — Inclusive Leadership Business Impact Award</li><li>Dr. Isaac M. Adusu — Community Leader of the Year</li><li>KCSNY Home Delivered Meals Team — Community Team Award</li><li>Aditi Gaddam — Next Generation Inclusive Leader Award</li></ul>
Ten percent of ticket proceeds will support Women's Mentoring Network, a Connecticut nonprofit that empowers women through long-term mentoring, skills workshops, and educational support — continuing an ILIA tradition of giving back to a local community partner each year.
"Inclusive leadership isn't a slogan — it's the daily practice of making room for people, and this year's honorees live it,"said Simone Morris, Founder and CEO of Simone Morris Enterprises and creator of the ILIA Awards. "ILIA exists to recognize the leaders and teams doing that consistent, often quiet work, and to remind our community that when everyone belongs, everyone benefits."
