Hey, neighbors! Karena Garrity here with a brand-new copy of The Haddams-Killingworth Daily.

First, today's weather:

Variable clouds; not as cold. High: 42 Low: 36.

Here are the top three stories today in The Haddams-Killingworth:

1. Although the future of Deer Lake is still uncertain, one thing is certain; summer camp for 2022 is on! This is welcome news for campers past and present who are excited that they can spend at least one more summer making memories and enjoying nature at the favorite summer camp spot. (HK Now)
2. What does the weekend weather have in store for the Haddams and Killingworth? Here in New England we never know. (The Haddams-Killingworth Patch)
3. In state of Connecticut news; Governor Ned Lamont announced a bill that would provide $70 million for lead abatement efforts. Lead in paint, as well as, lead in the water, has been a big problem in inner cities throughout CT, that has affected the health and development of many minority and impoverished children. This bill could change that. (Thehour.com)
