Who Knew?’ is sponsored by Walter Stewart’s Market. Nobody comes to the leafy Connecticut suburbs for our heart-shaped hot tubs. Not only is their resale value questionable, but surely P&Z has a longstanding regulation against Atlantic City chic. All the same, New Canaan can be the perfect spot for a dreamy date, even when your date is the person with whom you’ve been filing taxes jointly for decades. You can find romance here in a cozy, candlelit meal, a meandering drive down a country road, or playing footsie while you read the parking ticket appeals.
For today’s Q&A with a local organization navigating this time of COVID-19, we hear from Barbara Linarducci, CEO and vice chair of Silvermine Arts Center.
Here’s our exchange. New Canaanite: We’ve heard from many nonprofit organizations that one major impact of COVID-19 virus has been the forced cancellation of big fundraisers. What has this experience been like for Silvermine Arts Center?
Barbara Linarducci: Like any arts organization, we depend on the annual benefit to help cover general operating expenses. Postponing this major fundraiser has had a significant impact on our finances.
The Silvermine Community Association Potluck Dinner is on Saturday, January 26, starting at 6:30PM at the Silvermine Arts Center. Catch up with friends and neighbors! This is a “members only” event. This year we’re going southern, so if you love ribs, southern fried chicken, pulled pork and other scrumptious southern dishes, buy your tickets now. Everyone is requested to bring something to share.
