Ansonia Rotary Club beautifies downtown corner, supports food bank
ANSONIA - The Ansonia Rotary Club recently replanted flowers and groomed the bushes and shrubs at Haddad Park in downtown Ansonia at the corner of Bridge and Main Streets.
The Club adopted the spot last year, and has been responsible for keeping it looking well ever since.
Club President Lori Veillette and Vice President Joe Pinto are leaders of the Ansonia Club, which recently donated $2,500 of groceries to the Samela Food Pantry at Christ Episcopal Church.
Funds for the purchase were a grant from the Rotary District Foundation, and the delivery was arranged by Presidents David Morgan of TEAM, Inc. and Patrick Charmel of Griffin Hospital.
