Images of the Back To School Event.

We had a beautiful, cloudless day for our First Annual Back to School Event on Lilac Street.  Here are some of the images captured that day.

Kali and I thank all of our supporters and volunteers who gave of their time, resources or both to make this event happen.  This event lifted a burden for many of our families and the kids had a great time!

Enjoy.

We had generous volunteers from NHS of New Haven.

Local businesses that sponsored our event. Thank you Piggy Back Rides!

A mysterious photographer.  Is that Gary Holder-Winfield?

Loyal residents that love their neighborhood.

Great music.  Thank you DJ "Ultimate", DJ "E", and Tootskee.  You know how to move the crowd!

It's not a block party without dancing.  Lots of it.

 

 

Add water.

 

And a few reminders of why we did this. 

P.S.:  Head over to Gary Holder-Winfield's Facebook page.  He captured amazing images with all Newhallville had to offer this weekend.

Yale Farm Youth Pizza Event.

We had a great day despite the ever present threat of rain.  Solar Youth got to learn more about Yale Farm, harvesting, and pizza making in the pizza oven.

Thanks again to Nadine Nelson, local chef.  This day was her idea to get our communities' kids to the Farm.  A big thank you also to Jacqueline Lewin, who patiently taught each of the kids to make their own pizza:)
