Greetings from Camp CONNRI

Members of the Fellowship Place community enjoyed a wonderful vacation last week at Camp CONNRI, a vacation and retreat center sponsored by the Salvation Army. Activities ranged from boating & swimming to making S’mores around the fire pit. Our annual trip to Camp CONNRI provides our clients a welcome respite from urban life and a chance to try new things like shuffleboard and archery. Special thanks to supporters of the Birgitta Johnson Campership fund for donations to cover some of the costs associated with the trip and to the Salvation Army for their warm hospitality.

Construction of Campus Storage Facility Completed

Construction of Fellowship Place’s new storage facility is now completed. The building replaces a dilapidated garage and will be used to store supplies, maintenance equipment, and donations. This project was the last phase of the campus renovation master plan, which began in 2007. Funding for the project was provided by the CT Office of Policy & Management’s Non-Profit Grant program, and private donors. A special thank you to our Architect Eric Epstein for his vision and support, and our remarkable and hardworking construction team from Hylwa Inc., led by Scott Torre and Bob Landry.
