Caring Hearts at Hewitt Organization

United Way Executive Director Jack Walsh is the lone thorn among the roses at the Hewitt management meeting.

The logo on the t-shirts at the Hewitt Organization says it all. "Caring Hearts Build Hope" not only describes the campaign slogan for this year's United Way effort, but also for the unique community spirit that the employees at Hewitt exhibit every day.

Annieammal GeorgeKutty, Beatrice Kumah, and Sylvia Bridgeforth handled late duties at Gardner Heights.

The campaign kicked off with a pep rally and ice cream social at the Hewitt Hospital on Tuesday with Lynette Jordan of the Spooner House and Pat Kaplan of New Haven Legal Services as speakers.

That was followed by a morning breakfast and an afternoon ice cream social at Shelton Lakes. Ondria Lucky spoke about Infoline and the new state wide 2-1-1 service.

Gardner Heights hosted three separate sessions and they heard from Sheri Pozarlik from the Umbrella Project. Friday the campaign concluded with a luncheon for the Hewitt management team. Pozarlik was once again the speaker and Hewitt CEO Dave Brodonaro also addressed the group.

Deb Mackin, Sherri Pozarlik, MaryAnn Millea, Carla Brinker, Bernadine Lechner, and Margaret Buchnall participated in the rally at Gardner Heights. Pozarlik was the speaker.

Mary Milano, Elsie Doyle and Barbara Wargo were team captains at Shelton Lakes.
