On Friday, September 5th at noon, come to Town Hall and join over 50 Darien organizations and businesses for the kick-off of CARE Darien, a town-wide campaign to help create a Community of Accountability and Respect for Everyone. CARE Darien is an initiative of the Human Services Planning Council, and its purpose is to encourage conversations among family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers about how we can collectively make a positive change in the ways that we interact with one another, whether it be a simple "please" or "thank you", developing new understandings about cultural subjects through seminars and workshops, or a more elaborate exercise in "paying it forward." Together, as a community, we can find the answers to important questions, such as "How can I become more accountable for my actions, be they positive or negative" and "How can I be more respectful and welcoming of people’s differences?"  

Over the next few months, there are a variety of activities and events taking place throughout the community that will support the CARE Darien campaign, beginning with a screening of the classic film To Kill A Mockingbird, Friday, September 5th, at 7:30 p.m. at Weed Beach. Visit care.darien.org for more information on the campaign and events to come.
