SUMMARY:Live from the Boathouse: A Place Called Hope
DESCRIPTION:September 17th\, 2024\nLive from the Boathouse!\nA Place Called Hope presents Think Outside the Bait Box \n6:00 – 7:00 pm\nMembers: FREE (please use the ticket reservation link to reserve your spot)\nNon-Members: $5.00 \n  \nRESERVE YOUR SPOT\n  \nRodenticide and similar poisons may seem like an effective method of pest control\, but they pose real dangers to us\, our pets and to wildlife – including bald eagles! Join Christine Cummings from A Place Called Hope (a Raptor Rehabilitation and Education Center based in Killingworth\, CT) and Nicole Rivard from Friends of Animals for an exploration of why poisons don’t solve pest problems and how to apply long term strategies that solve the issue without harming our local wildlife. \n  \n \n  \nChristine Cummings has devoted her adult life to Wildlife Rehabilitation since 2005. In 2007\, A Place Called Hope was founded\, with the mission of preserving wildlife for the future. As a State and Federally licensed Bird of Prey Wildlife Rehabilitator\, Christine admits on average 500-600 patients per year. Her daily routine consists of catering to the needs of injured\, orphaned\, or sick birds of prey\, as well as the 40 resident ambassador birds who call ACPH home. Christine hopes to promote a better understanding of ways we can all coexist with the wildlife we find in our very own backyards. \n  \n  \n \nNicole Rivard started working at Friends of Animals in 2013. She brings 28 years of journalism experience to FoA’s Action Line magazine and to the front lines— protesting and documenting atrocities against animals exploited by the carriage horse\, fur and hunting industries\, as well as the Bureau of Land Management’s mismanagement of America’s wild horses.

SUMMARY:Thursdays on the Dock : Java Groove
DESCRIPTION:Thursdays on the Dock \nJava Groove \nThursday\, July 18th\, 2024 \n5:30 – 7:30 pm \n  \nThursdays on the Dock has been a shoreline staple for 15 years and is still the destination for waterfront music. Each Thursday evening in July and August\, bring a chair or blanket\, listen to a free concert\, and watch the sun go down over the river. \n  \nOur presenting sponsor Prive Swiss Wellness is always on hand offering free massages and giveaways. \n  \nFrom swing to Sinatra to Sting\, Java Groove is a small 4 piece band with a big sound. It all started in 2015 by the founding members of the swing band\, The Shiny Lapel Trio. When people ask what kind of music you play\, we tell them\, jazzy\, swingy\, ballady\, kinda stuff. The idea behind Java Groove is to have a stripped down swing band with the same effect and vibe of a horn section. \n  \nThe band consists of Dan Bernier on vocals and guitar\, James Alio on guitar\, Marc Iacobellis on bass guitar and Todd Fitting on drums. Todd\, James and Marc all went to middle school and high school together in Guilford\, playing in various bands together. Dan was one of the founding members of The Zingerz\, also playing swing music on the shoreline area. \n  \nIn case of inclement weather\, please check our site.
