CTLCV's 2009 Environmental Summit
was held
on December 2, 2009. This
annual conference is sponsored by the Connecticut League of
Conservation Voters Education Fund, our 501(c)(3) sister
organization.
The purpose of the Summit, which includes includes environmental
advocates and legislators, is for environmental leaders to share
information and sort through legislative issues before the next
legislative session. The Summit is a unique
opportunity to build on successful collaborative efforts from
the past and find new ways to support one another's efforts in the
future.
This year's summit
was made possible in part with generous support of CL&P. Thank
you!

More about
The Day:
The Day is run by a board of trustees made up of
members of the community who set yearly profit goals for the
company. The profit goals are very modest compared to
corporate-owned newspapers, enabling the size of the news hole
and numbers of newsroom staff to be much larger than other
small-to-medium-sized papers. The profits are then divided up –
half is reinvested in the company for equipment, staff, etc.,
and the other half is donated to local charities. The charity
disbursement is under the Bodenwein Public Benevolent Trust and
is decided by an independent trust manager.
