An invitation from the MPC: This Sunday, join us for the 8th Annual Walk Milford Challenge—a meaningful event supporting suicide prevention and local nonprofits making a positive impact in our community.
Participants can walk at their own pace throughout the weekend, but don’t miss the gathering at the Rotary Pavilion at Fowler Field (behind the library) from 9 AM to 1 PM. Enjoy free wellness classes (a donation of a non-perishable food item for the Milford Food Bank is appreciated), food trucks, vendors, and live music.
This year, Walks with Buddy and Harley from the Rape Crisis Center of Milford have introduced a Passport activity. Visit participating organizations, learn about their services, get your passport signed, and enter to win one of two fantastic Milford Gift Baskets generously donated by local businesses.

“A Success Story…Here’s a Local Job Seeker that Landed!”
Job search can often be a struggle, as frequent setbacks can leave job seekers discouraged and unable to sustain any momentum. Quite often, they can easily become frustrated while in job search…especially if the transition process takes longer than anticipated. Staying motivated can quickly become a serious challenge. Job seekers can also easily become stressed out, making the goal of landing a new role…a tougher hill to climb.
But quite often, the HRJN has several attendees – that land incredible new opportunities! Danny was a very frequent visitor to the group…that overcame a long bout of unemployment & a few personal challenges along the way, to land an incredible new position in Waterbury.
Coming back for 1 evening to deliver an incredible presentation, Danny will delve into his individual journey & explain the job search process that led to his new role! He will also take time to answer questions from the audience. Everyone will leave this meeting with a solid framework…which will help reduce the anxiety & frustration that can occur for job seekers during any transition period. All attendees will be able to hit the ground running immediately, so stop by for some great job search advice!
