  We'll start with a relatively short, easy hike for those of us who may be a bit out of shape after this brutal winter! The Woodcock Nature Center has woodsy trails past wetlands, ponds, vernal pools, and we can take a peek at the rescued birds of prey in their enclosures.

  We'll meet at 9:00 in the first parking lot at 56 Deer Run Road, Wilton (there is a set of green mailboxes at the entrance).

  **PLEASE NOTE: in the confirmation email under "additional info" is a cell # to call if you signed up but need to cancel. It's important to let me know so we know if we should wait for you.

  Ridgefield Neighbors and Newcomers is excited to announce its inaugural non-profit fair.  You might not have heard of our organization.  For over fifty years, we were known as the Newcomers Club of Ridgefield.  Recently, we went through a name and mission change to deepen our connections to the Ridgefield community while acting as a partner to organizations such as yours.

  
  

  The fair will allow local non-profits to introduce themselves and their missions. Attendees will be inspired by the breadth of opportunity resulting in meaningful connections for all.
