Milford, CT (March, 2014) – The Downtown Milford Business Association recently presented two local non-profit organizations with proceeds raised during the popular annual Wine Trail event. The Literacy Center of Milford and The Boys & Girls Club each received a $3,000 donation.
According to Literacy Center of Milford’s Director Tami Jackson, “We can’t thank the DMBA enough for this extremely generous donation from their Downtown Wine Trail held this past fall. We are so appreciative of the confidence they have in our organization and all the lives we touch through our literacy programs. Many thanks for all they do downtown and their continuing help to our community!” Adds Boys & Girls Club Executive Director Megan Altomare, “The Boys & Girls Club of Milford was extremely grateful to be chosen as a partner in Downtown Milford Business Association’s Wine Trail event. It was a tremendous fundraiser that brings a great element to the already amazing downtown area. The monies raised are going to greatly impact our budget and allow us to offer so much more to our members. Thank you to the Association for all that they do to better the community.”
At a regular monthly member meeting, ceremonial ‘big checks’ – along with the real thing – were presented to the receiving organizations by members of the Downtown Milford Business Association’s Executive Board. Presenting were DMBA Secretary Janet Harrison of JK Harrison Consulting; DMBA Vice-President Sandy Morgan of Milford Arts Center; and President Jamie Rude of Humanitects to recipients Tami Jackson, Executive Director of the Milford Literacy Center and Megan Altomare, Executive Director of the Boys & Girls Club of Milford.
