Dear Editor, 

The rain did not deter May Fair’s Friday Night Lights! Through scattered rain, mud, and puddles, the young and young at heart hit the Midway Rides and food tent for an evening of pure joy and entertainment.

It was Eric Rehnberg who crossed over most successfully in third grade, our first year at East School. They’d closed Center School after the 1982-83 academic year, and our friend group got separated in the redistricting, never to fully re-form. Eric and I ended up at East, along with Alex Carles, Kristen Gannalo, David Palmer, Linda Pierson, Christina Mullin and Jenny Rubinfeld. Somehow that first year at East, Eric found the courage to ask the cutest girl in our class, a new face to us Center Schoolers—Joanna Avgerinos—to May Fair, and she said yes. I was in awe.

Dear New Canaanite,
We are writing on behalf of the New Canaan Beautification League to extend our warmest thanks to the hardworking team that brought the South Avenue Tree Project to reality. It started with a conversation at Mead Park in the fall sunshine of 2022. The site plans were approved by the State early this year, and 135 new trees are now standing proudly along South Avenue from Cherry Street down to the YMCA.
