Milford Borough plans centennial events and domestic violence symposium

The New Milford Board of Education meeting on October 5, 2021, highlighted significant community initiatives, particularly the borough's upcoming 100th anniversary celebrations. Board member Mr. Seymour announced plans for a year filled with events to honor this milestone, inviting the school district to participate in the festivities.

In addition to the anniversary plans, Mr. Seymour emphasized the importance of community involvement in the Clean Communities Day scheduled for October 16. Volunteers are encouraged to gather at the borough's Department of Public Works at 9 AM to contribute to local environmental efforts.

Another key topic was the third annual Domestic Violence Awareness Symposium set for October 27. Mr. Seymour stressed the event's focus on supporting survivors and providing essential resources, including police response, housing, and counseling. He urged community members to consider the impact of domestic violence not only on survivors but also on their families, highlighting the symposium as a vital opportunity for those affected to seek help.

The meeting concluded with an invitation for public comments, reinforcing the board's commitment to transparency and community engagement. As the district prepares for these events, the emphasis on collaboration and support for vulnerable populations remains a priority.
