‘We Are Excited To Have Her’: Town Resident Hired as Program Manager at Lapham 

Town officials last week approved the hiring of a New Canaan resident as program manager at a community facility in Waveny that serves local adults and especially seniors. Kathy Collins, a licensed social worker, will fill the position at Lapham Community Center following a 3-0 vote by the Board of Selectmen. “She knows the community very well,” Mimi Pitt, project coordinator in the town Human Resources department, told the selectmen at their regular meeting, held Aug. 3 in Town Hall. The program manager position at Lapham became vacant when Aggie Aspinwall took over as director of the facility last year, Pitt said.
