We are so grateful to the Main Street Community Foundation for inviting ELCCT to be part of their 30th Anniversary Celebration this past weekend. It was an honor to stand alongside 9 other incredible local nonprofits as finalists for the Circa 1995 Grant Awards. We are thrilled to share that ELCCT was selected as a recipient and awarded a $5,000 grant. This support will help us continue inspiring future generations of learners and environmental stewards while protecting our conserved natural spaces in Bristol, Southington, and Burlington. (fb)
