Cromwell Listens

Dr. Enza Macri provides much-needed information and insight into the plans and preparations for Cromwell public schools during this challenging time. Touching on subjects ranging from Cronwell High School graduation to the upcoming Fall semester, Dr. Macri reassures parents that education will continue in a safe environment, following all appropriate guidelines, for all students and that her top priority is to maintain the high standards for which our Community’s schools have come to be known. We hope you enjoy this interview as much as we enjoyed speaking with Dr. Macri.

Cromwell Youth Services and the Cronwell Recreation Department will co-present a series of online discussions over the month of June, providing the youth of Cromwell a forum to discuss their feelings, aspirations and fears during this challenging time.

For more information, please call the Recreation Department at 860-632-3467, or check out the Facebook pages of both Town agencies. To register, please call the Recreation Department, or visit www.cromwellrec.com. A great resource for our community. “Stay strong, Cromwell.”

In this time of challenge, we are pleased to be joined by State Representative Christie Carpino. Answering questions ranging in topic from the working aspects of her position to the State response to COVID-19, to her own personal and professional aspirations and accomplishments, Miss Carpino provides insights, information, as well as a much-appreciated nod to bipartisanship, reminding us that we are all in this together.

State Senator Matthew Lesser, representing Connecticut’s ninth senatorial district, provides insights into the State government response to the current crisis and additional insights into his position, his goals and priorities and his decision to pursue a path in politics. Observing recommendations on social-distancing, this episode was recorded remotely, as all three principals were in different locations. Therefore, the audio-capture may sound a bit primitive. We appreciate your understanding and hope that you enjoy this interview with Matthew Lesser.

James Demetriades and James Neeland interview Enzo Faienza, Cromwell‘s first mayor under the current form of government instituted eight years ago. Touching on his early life, his family, his aspirations and his love of our Community, and, of course, the challenges at present during this uncertain time, Mayor Enzo provides insight and needed reassurance in this informal conversation. We apologize for any interference while listening to this interview and for the somewhat primitive audio capture, given today’s digital standards, yet, with respect for and observance of social distancing recommendations and other edicts, we decided to conduct this interview remotely, with all three of us at different locations. So, if it sounds unpolished, we do apologize. However, we think you will enjoy our talk with Enzo Faienza. And thank you so much for your support. “Stay safe, Cromwell. “

During this time of challenge, Cromwell, Connecticut pulls together. Because that’s how we roll.
