Join us as we celebrate our 2024 scholarship recipients and recognize those who have helped us in our mission of supporting Waterbury-area Catholic schools in memory of Waterbury Deputy Police Chief Chris Corbett. 
Proceeds from the dinner will benefit the Christopher D. Corbett Memorial Fund, established in 2015. The fund awards scholarships to students wishing to attend Catholic elementary and high schools in the greater Waterbury area. Scholarships are also awarded to college-bound graduates of local Catholic high schools who plan to pursue studies in criminal justice. This year, 23 scholarship recipients have been selected. 
In addition to the 2024 scholarship recipients, honorees at the dinner will include founding sponsors Blasius Chevrolet, Cly-Del, and O&amp;G Industries and in-kind donors Calli Brothers, Dunkin – the Batista Family, and Frankies – Caroline &amp; Joseph Caiazzo.

Kings Pond, Railtree Hill Rd, Woodbury, CT, 06798

WOODBURY April 30th, 2024-- Woodbury Firefighters set the weekend of May 11th and 12th
for the annual childrens fishing event on Saturday and the Mothers Day annual pancake breakfast on Sunday. “It’s all about the community and being neighbors,” says Fire Chief Janet B. Morgan. “It’s also a happy break for us after 75 call outs for fire and rescue so far this year.”
The free fishing derby for children aged 13 and under will last from 8am to 11am on the Saturday May 11th. The Mel Snyder Memorial Event, named in honor of a deceased fire chief, is at Kings Pond, Rail Tree Hill Road off Route 317. “We’ve stocked with plenty of fish so that everyone should catch at least one,“ says organizer Jason Hatstat, a Woodbury firefighter. “It will be fun for everyone.” The pond stock comprises brook, brown, and rainbow trout with possibly a large golden trout too, he said.
Over 40 children (photo) enjoyed it in 2023. "We expect another big happy turnout this year too," said organizer Hatstat.
The fire department raffle prizes for the children will include fishing and camping gear donated by local businesses. In addition to the top prize for the largest catch, awards are made for the most motivated child and for good sportsmanship in honor of the late Darlene Start, a longtime supporter of the volunteer fire department.
The following day on Sunday May 12th is the annual Mothers Day pancake breakfast cooked and served by the volunteer firefighters at department headquarters, 25 Quassuk Rd.by the corner with route 6 from 7am to 11am. Prices remain unchanged at $8 for adults or $6 for seniors and children. The traditional menu features juice, coffee or tea, stacks of pancakes with or without berries, and crisp bacon or sausage. “It’s a regular town event,” says Fire Chief Janet B. Morgan. “Lots of people come yearly with mom and the entire family. In the meantime, we’re always ready to help our neighbors in an emergency at any time of day or night. That’s what we do.”

Woodbury Public Library

(WOODBURY, CONN. - April 23, 2024) A literary open mic in the gallery at Woodbury Public Library on Wednesday, May 15, starting at 6 p.m. will explore the themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and honor. Participants are invited to read a poem or a selection of prose they have written or that they enjoy and wish to share. 


Jack Sheedy, Pat Mottola, and Sandy Carlson will be the featured presenters. Mr. Sheedy, a poet, playwright, essayist, and journalist recently published the memoir In My Father's Tire Tracks. In it, he recounts his father’s and his nearly identical solo cross-country road trips, in 1959 and 2021, respectively. “I go city by city to California, searching for clues about why my father risked missing Christmas with his family to deliver a brand-new Thunderbird to Hollywood,” Mr. Sheedy said. His poetry and prose blend pathos and humor.
Pat Mottola is president of the Connecticut Poetry Society, Poet Laureate of Cheshire, Connecticut, and a teacher of creative writing at Southern Connecticut State University. She also mentors Afghan women writers living in Afghanistan and beyond. She is the author of two collections of poetry, Under the Red Dress and After Hours. Her third book, A Town Like That, is forthcoming from Grayson Books.
Sandy Carlson is Poet Laureate of Woodbury and the author of several collections of her own poetry as well as collaborative book on a variety of topics. She will share selections from her book Silent Spaces, which honors her great uncle, Laurence Harvey Isbell, and explores the simultaneously mythic and tangible roles of the war dead in the lives of their families. “I grew up hearing about my ancestor’s participation in our wars from the Revolution onward. Uncle Laurence’s willingness to go and his bravery made him a hero to my grandmother,” Carlson said, adding, “these stories shaped my understanding of who I am and where I am.”
All writers and readers are welcome.
