We would like to issue a correction for our Charity Spotlight that was featured in the October Issue:

For the second year, the town of Bethel, Connecticut, honors veterans and supports military families through the Folds of Honor Veteran’s Day 5K. The race is held at the Clifford J. Hurgin Municipal Center and will take place November 1st at 8:30am. This race serves as both a meaningful tribute and a vibrant community gathering.

The race benefits Folds of Honor, a nonprofit founded in 2007 by Lt. Col. Dan Rooney, dedicated to providing scholarships to spouses and children of fallen or disabled service members. Bethel’s local 5K Veteran's Day Race effortlessly channels that mission through movement, memory, and generous participation.

Bethel’s race thrives thanks to passionate volunteers—especially the women behind the scenes. Kristina Korin and Kathleen Cavicchia-LaDore, spend the year organizing sponsorships, logistics, and outreach to ensure that each year’s run is seamlessly organized and fully supported.

Across town, local supporters and groups also rally—forming teams, raising donations, and encouraging friends and families to run in solidarity with the cause. The race itself is infused with warmth: participants of all ages, first responders, veterans, and neighbors come together, followed by post-race celebrations aimed at strengthening bonds while honoring sacrifice.

In Bethel, the Folds of Honor Veteran’s Day 5K is more than a race. It’s an enduring expression of unity, respect, and support—powered in no small part by the leadership and dedication of Kristina Korin, Kathleen Cavicchia-LaDore, and a community that shows up, runs hard, and cares deeply.
Please visit FOH.org/VeteransDay5k to be a part of this community and experience.

Please note that this version reflects the correct date of SATURDAY NOVEMBER 1ST.

Folds of Honor Bethel Veteran's Day 5K is on Saturday November 1, 2025. It includes the following events: 5K Run/Walk and 5K Run/Walk- First Responders, Active Duty Military, and Veterans.

After never hearing of a microburst and then living through one, we are praying for our New Milford neighbors tonight.

BIG DAMAGE reports coming in from New Milford where is appears a microburst went through near New Milford Hospital. Power is out to roughly 1200 customers in New Milford alone. 😬
