Then we'll get Closer to Free with the folks at Smilow Cancer Hospital and the Yale Cancer Center. They helped host John Voket survive cancer, so along with a fellow survivor we'll meet who's raised more than $150,000 for the cause - we'll tell you about - and clue you in on being part of the 10th anniversary Closer to Free Ride on September 12.
Rounding out our program of virtual activities, we'll catch up with the Center for Family Justice - and hear about how this critical human services agency is supporting victims of sexual assault in a COVID world, and invite you to the center's Speaking of Women virtual gathering on September 22.
Then - whether you are an employer looking for qualified and motivated workers, or someone who is looking for a job or maybe seeking to change careers - we've got the resource for you as we bring in the COO from Career Resources, which serves about half the state connecting people to jobs they need.
And we're closing reminding you about an important environmental practice that Connecticut helped make famous - I'm talking about mattress recycling. We'll connect with a spokesperson for the Mattress Recycling Council to talk about this important program, how easy it is to do, and the many ways recycling mattresses makes a positive difference to our communities and our planet.
