FAMILY FEST 2019

A chance to mix and mingle By Devin Leith-Yessian The Citizen

Day of Caring unites community By Devin Leith-Yessian The Citizen

Dancing with Flippy the Dolphin, learning to hula hoop and zipping down an inflatable slide, families got to enjoy a recess break together for the sixth Family Fest at Linden Street School on Saturday, May 11.

An outpouring of volunteers allowed the United Way to hold its largest ever Day of Caring on Friday, May 17, adding two additional projects in Plainville to ensure everyone had a chance to fix up a corner of town.

Donna Cavallaro, who organized the event through the school system’s Family Resource Network, said they lucked out with the weather this year. So many groups signed up to participate that if they had needed to move inside they wouldn’t have been able to fit everyone.

“This is a beautiful day where we come together to serve the organizations that are improving our communities,” said Donna Osuch, president of the United Way of West Central Connecticut. More than 600 volunteers, including 150 high school students, worked on 38 projects in Bristol, Burlington, Plainville and Plymouth.

Plainville resident Sue Clarke said her daughter was excited to see inside the back of an ambulance, something she had tried to imagine. Clarke also enjoyed seeing the younger kids in awe as some of their favorite fantasy characters, like Batman and Cinderella, were walking around.

Clarke called the event a great chance for youngsters like her daughter, who goes to Toffolon, to see friends across the district and interact with teachers outside of school.

Linden’s Interim Principal Phil Sanders said walking around outside with their teacher or being served a burger by an administrator makes students, especially See Fest, A8

The hundreds of extra hands spread out to local non-profits to collect litter and do landscaping, painting and other light projects such as constructing a fence. At the Plainville furniture bank For Goodness Sake, a new beneficiary of the Day of Caring, volunteers helped families pick out furniture and move it to their homes, while the Domus Amoris group home on

Osuch said the nonprofits the United Way of West Central Connecticut works with often don’t have enough funding or manpower to make these improvements on their own, so the boost of help on the Day of Caring can get projects done that might not have been a priority otherwise. Also, Day of Caring is a way for volunteers to get more connected to their communities, especially for high school students who get to spend a day working with students from schools in surrounding towns and learn about the nonprofits they’re helping. Osuch credits that community-building with the growing number of volunteers they have been getting year after year on the Day of Caring. This year, 21 companies and four service groups sent volunteers, along with a few individuals who came along on their own. See Caring, A8

Brilliant Basement

CATS OF THE WEEK Simone and Purrpurr just turned eight weeks old and went to their first vet checkup. Their mom is a beautiful rescue who came to us a week before having her kittens. The kittens are as sweet as can be. Simone is playful and active. Purrpurr in belly-up and ready for rubs all the time. To avoid only-kitten syndrome it's best to adopt two kittens at this age. For more information, visit hucatrescue.org, call 860-479-5173 or email hucatrescue@ gmail.com.

Local man dies after house fire By Lauren Sellew Record-Journal staff

PLAINVILLE — A town man died from injuries suffered in a house fire on Fairbanks Street Thursday morning, May 16, a hospital spokesman confirmed. Stephen Androwski, 45, was taken to the Connecticut Burn Center at Bridgeport Hospital after being rescued from a fire at his home Thursday morning. On Friday John Cappiello, hospital

spokesman, confirmed that Androwski died Thursday night. Firefighters responded to 20 Fairbanks St. around 10:20 a.m. and called for assistance from surrounding towns, including Southington and New Britain. According to the fire marshal, a father lives on the first floor of the home and his son lives on the second floor. Androwski was initially taken by ambulance to the Hos-

pital of Central Connecticut in New Britain and then flown to Bridgeport Hospital’s burn center. His father was taken to the hospital for evaluation. According to town records, the home is owned by Thomas G. and Candace A. Kiely, who list a mailing address in the Plantsville section of Southington. lsellew@record-journal.com 203-317-2225 Twitter: @LaurenSellewRJ

GROW YOUR BUSINESS

invite residents to stop by and see us and to receive a poppy to wear in remembrance of those who paid the ultimate price for our freedom. We must never forget. The poppy, which bloomed on the battlefields of France after World War I, has grown to become an internationally-known and -recognized symbol of the lives sacrificed in war and the hope that none died in vain. If you choose to donate to the poppy cans, 100 percent of all donations received will go directly to help veterans, military and their families here in Connecticut.

“It breaks down that teacher-student barrier,” he said. “It’s not about ‘didn’t do homework,’ it’s about having a great time.” Even though they weren’t in the classroom, the district ensured the Family Fest was a learning opportunity for all who attended. The library had a section set up inside the school and every child who stopped by got a free book to take home, while outside Cyril the Sorcerer showed the magic of recycling and clean water.
