We're kicking it off talking about 'The Journey to Equity and Inclusion' in our workplaces with the Chief Knowledge Officer from the Society for Human Resource Management talking about SHRM’s Together Forward @Work initiative. 

Then our guest from the Mercatus Center at George Mason University will hit the high points of a new study on how Connecticut has gone so wrong when it comes to administering public pensions, and what can be done about it.

And then we'll reconnect with the Community Action Agency serving greater New Haven, and key in on the statewide home energy assistance program. Our guest will explain everything you need to know about it - and how to gather the information you'll need to apply and qualify.

After celebrating National EMS Week earlier we'll circle back with an EMT who you'll see running through Shelton for 24 hours next weekend to help raise funds for a new Echo Hose Co. ambulance.

Then we'll bring you some advice for folks who are aging in place while facing COVID-19 restrictions with our sources from Assisted Living Services, and the CT Association for Healthcare at Home.

Then it's time for some exciting news from the Aspetuck Land Trust - which just completed a key farmland preservation project, along with an update on the group's green corridor initiative and how everyone can be part of it.

Today we're kicking things off with Abilis, a nonprofit serving more than 700 developmentally disabled individuals and their families. We'll learn more about an internationally renowned program Abilis is now offering called SibShops, combining recreation, discussion and information for siblings who endure the good (and sometimes uncomfortable) parts of having a sibling with a disability.

Then we'll meet Sacred heart University's VP for Advancement and new Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer to talk about how SHU is opening a new chapter aimed at broadening opportunities for both students and staff - and inviting you to support SHU's Jackie Robinson Scholarship Foundation with a chance to hang out virtually and celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the famed Subway Series with Joe Torre and Bobby Valentine at 'SHU And 42'.

And we'll close talking about all the positive effects of exercise on your brain with Dr. Wendy Suzuki, who is poised to host a Zoom Workshop on the subject later this week for Newtown's Maplewood Senior Living community.
