Create crafts, write resumes at Derby Public Library

DERBY - The Derby Public Library has scheduled another Recycle, Repurpose, and Reuse 
craft class for ages 18 and over at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 3.


Ansonia Animal Control Officer Jeanie Roslonowski returns to the Library with a Grab and Growl session. 

She will bring a variety of materials, along with ideas on what to make with them.  Come and relax and see your creativity emerge.
The class will also include information on conservation and animal issues.
Registration is required. 

Resume workshops
The Library is offering Resume Workshops on the first Wednesday of each month at 6:30 p.m.
During these sessions, participants are welcome to either start from scratch or bring 
copies of their existing resumes, cover letters as well, for review and optimizing.  

Often times a new resume can be created simply by making a number of subtle tweaks versus a whole new change.
The next class will be held at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 4.

Registration is not required.  

For more information, stop by the Library at 313 Elizabeth St. or call 203-736-1482 or visit

Bobby Wheeler entertains Wednesday at the Seymour Pink Day celebration at Hot Tamale Mexican Grill and Bar in Seymour.

My apologies go out to singer Bobby Wheeler of Oxford, who did a great job performing for Seymour Pink board members and supporters at the party.
I inadvertently left him out of my coverage of the event, which you can read here and here.

As an aside, Wheeler's day job is teaching fifth grade at Oxford Center School! It was nice meeting him. 

I thank Seymour Pink volunteer Peggy Carvalho for providing the photo.
