Hi Darcy,
The RSVP Westport-Weston Medical Transportation Program is looking for drivers from Weston. Volunteers who are age 55 and older can register with RSVP, which is part of a nationwide program of service to the community. Volunteers may be called upon once or twice a month to give rides. These rides are invaluable to the seniors who need them.
Thanks!

Darcy: you posted Audubon Family Canoe Trips being offered at the CAS Center at Fairfield: that's incorrect. Our Coastal Center at Milford Point is ering these canoe tours, so all listed contact info is wrong, as is the "about this place" info. See our website: http://www.ctaudubon.org/visit/milford.htm#childfamilyadult
Thank you very much for listing us but please correct this error. Mara Neville, 203-259-6305 ext 103, mneville@ctaudubon.org.
