1. The St. Teresa of Calcutta Parish has announced plans to sell a parcel of its land. The land has been owned by the parish for the past 68 years. The church will use a portion of the land they still own for parking. (https://www.newsbreak.com/chan...)
2. One of Connecticut's premier bands, Goose, is giving thanks to its loyal fans and growing community of fans. They are ending this year with two shows left to play on Dec. 30 and 31. And their message is one of reflection based on all of their milestones. (jambands.com)
3. The Soap Stars that have passed in 2022 are being honored. If you are a fan of As The World Turns, you are most likely familiar with the legendary Kathryn Hays (Kim). Kathryn made her debut on the show in 1972 and became the matriarch of the Hughes family over the years before the soap came to an end. Kathryn passed on March 25, in Fairfield CT, at the age of 88.
