Poeta Strong to march in Seymour Christmas Parade this Sunday

 An event by Nina Strong- The Nina Poeta Scholarship Fund and Elizabeth Anderson

We will march to celebrate the 5th Anniversary of the establishment of the fund at the Valley Community Foundation and our community’s continued support! 

Through the generosity of family, friends, and even strangers, some who have now become forever friends, we are are getting close to our goal which will make the fund self-supporting and never-ending!

We would love to have Nina’s friends, supporters and scholarship recipients march with us! We will be tossing candy and Nina bracelets!
Please wear your Nina shirt or pink!!

**We will meet at 12:45 p.m. behind the Community Center/ Congregational Church at the end of the fence, at the corner of 43 Derby Ave. and Pine Street. 

Look for the bunch of pink Nina Strong Forever balloons!
