Neighborhood Housing Services celebrated a milestone anniversary and launched their latest Neighborhood Revitalization Campaign at the New Haven Lawn Club. All of the neighborhoods that have enjoyed the major impacts and stabilization, as a result of the organization’s work, turned out in force: Beaver Hills, Dixwell/Newhallville, Dwight/Edgewood, Fair Haven, the Hill, West River and Hamden were all in the wonderful grand ballroom. The evening was New Haven at its finest with everyone Dishin’ ‑new homeowners, city officials and residents were rubbing elbows and totally engaged with corporate neighbors, funders, community activists and philanthropists.

It is impossible to attend more than two, or possibly three, events per “school night”, but there is always that opportunity during the months of September and October. Every agency, organization and institution reaches out to friends and “family” before the threats of early darkness and hazardous driving conditions arrive and the “snowbirds” depart. Each year, the search for creative venues becomes more imperative in the quest to attract the greatest number of possible supporters and donors.

Mutual housing is a model of communal ownership of property where an association is formed and each member pays a housing fee to live in the community. The members control the management and governance of the property. The Mutual Housing Associaton of South Central Connecticut has been partnering with non-profit organizations and local and state governments for 15 years to provide high quality, long-term housing for low and moderate-income families. In so doing, they have stabilized neighborhoods and enhanced the quality of lives; currently, the organization is responsible for developments in Ansonia, Branford, Guilford, New Haven and Waterbury. $40 million in investments has netted 217 units under management and 246 units under planning or construction with only 21 employees. All of those accomplishments were cause to celebrate their milestone anniversary at a splendid event at one of my homes away from home — Amarante’s.

The shoreline was ablaze with stars — those that were rising, as defined by Business New Haven; and those that were raising, as demonstrated by the Kinship Fund. The Dish was thanking the lucky stars that the overlapping events were at Amarante’s and Anthony’s and that the wonderful weather allowed for what may have been the only outdoor Long Island Sound extravaganzas of the Fall season.

Everyone knows to look for their doctors at a golf course or tennis court on a summer weekend day. Monday night’s artist reception might have been mistaken for a medical convention had it not been for the attendance of the other Elm City friends whom Dr. Alan Cooper has acquired with his vocational and volunteer activities around town.

Jim Welbourne, librarian of the City of New Haven, and his staff were genial hosts to an “action oriented dialogue on economic development” as a follow up to the dynamic United Way kick- off event at which Tom Friedman, author and journalist, discussed the Flat World of the 21st century. Gerry Rosenberg, V.P. at Bayer and chairman of this initiative for United Way, extended a welcome and stayed to participate. A large group assembled, at the Courtland Seymour Wilson branch, to consider the community question, “What will it take for the New Haven region to compete in the global economy?”
