business community and in the lives of young people.  Over the past year, our chapter has increased its efforts to mentor less advantaged youth within the public school systems, particularly those within the Lower Fairfield County areas.  Our March 3rd awards reception will underscore the Chapter’s efforts as well as recognize corporate and community partners who collaborated to make a difference in our community.
