Stroll Hattertown

“All good things must come to an end” ~ Geoffrey Chaucer. I hope you enjoyed the December issue of Stroll Hattertown, with neighbor and artist Rita Frost on the cover. However, after 24 wonderful issues, we are sad to let you know this will be the last issue of Stroll Hattertown. It was a very hard decision to make, and it was a labor of love for me, but it was a financial decision that had to be made. I am forever grateful to our sponsors (who I hope you will continue to support, as they supported us), our neighborhood contributors and enthusiastic readers. The connections made were wonderful – between neighbors, between sponsors and residents, and the ones I was lucky to enjoy. I loved learning about the families, kids, pets, homes and philanthropic ventures of our residents. If you need to get in touch you can message me here for a while or text me at (203) 994-4640. Thank you again, I’ll miss you all!!! In Friendship, Cathy
