Canton Connections Thanks Ben & Jerry's and Local Community

The Board, staff and students of Canton Connections would like to thank Ben & Jerry's, located in The Shoppes at Farmington Valley, for the wonderful Benefit Night which they generously hosted in their newly renovated store on Thursday, April 10th.  Thank you to all who came from our local communities to participate and enjoy this great evening.  A portion of all sales that night were donated to Canton Connections.

Those who attended were among the first patrons to enjoy the all new Ben & Jerry's store which has doubled in size and seating.  It is now offering not only their ever popular ice cream (and new flavors), but Peet's Coffee and Lake Champlain Chocolates as well. 

Canton Connections is an affordable, non-profit after-school program "where fun and learning meet!"  The program provides a safe and welcoming environment for children in grades one through three, fostering self-reliance, emotional growth, social adjustment, educational advancement and physical well-being, while having fun.

Once again, a warm thank you to Ben & Jerry's, its staff and the many local community members who supported us.
