has recently joined the town’s police force, and they are active in the community. “I enjoy my job not only because of the people I work with, but I also have the opportunity to give back to my town,” Spose said. “My favorite people to assist are the seniors. Since they are temporarily at the American Legion Hall, I am able to stop by during my lunch time to see them and my good friend Joan’s mother.” Hatzopoulos and Spose are joined by two gentlemen, John Bimonte and Mike Zona, who also have a vested interest in North Haven, both personally and professionally. Bimonte grew up in town and lives here with his wife and three-year-old son. He has been employed for 14
years as the program coordinator for community services and recreation. “My job is filled with variety, and I work with people of all ages, from coordinating children’s activities and planning bus trips, to adult softball and other recreational activities,” Bimonte said. “Every day there is something different and exciting to do. I’m always learning about North Haven and the people I am pleased to serve.” Bimonte also added that he and his fellow clerical employees are always ready and willing to help and go the extra mile, even if it means putting in additional hours to see that things are followed through and completed to satisfaction. Good service, smiling faces, and a job well done are what people want and will remember, he added. “Teamwork is important to all our services,” Zona, a dispatcher for fire and police

I am proud to help the community that I live in.” She also expressed that all the people she works with are personable, upbeat, have great attitudes with a passion for their work, and they are all team players. Zilinski enjoys the challenges and rewards of her position, and she feels it’s a bonus to work and reside in North Haven.

said. “We help one another through a support system that benefits the whole community. My fellow dispatchers and I are the true first responders to someone in need of assistance. We spend 99 percent of our time answering phones, and that makes us a life line in getting help as fast as we can for those who need it.” Zona has lived in town most of his life. He is proud of his work and the opportunity to give back to a community that has been good to him. He believes in giving back by serving the town to the best of his ability through dedication and commitment. Those same qualities are also important for Yvonne Zilinski, secretary to the fire department. Zilinski, like her fellow clerical employees, is thrilled to serve the community in which she is a long time resident as well. “We relocated to Connecticut from New Jersey because of my husband’s job,” Zilinski said. “We chose North Haven as our home because of its elegance, charm, good school system, and friendly people.
