The Village of POWER wowed the community at the Stetson Library this past Wednesday. Poets, artists and clothing designers were among the famous VOP participants. After the poetry, music, art and fashion, VOP artists mingled with the community, sipping orange juice and munching on cookies from the local C‑TOWN. We Thank the Stetson Library for their hospitality and the community for supporting our efforts. We thank our teachers who include Mikki Balaban (writing), Jake Weinstein (art) and Vivian Fripp Elbert (Fashion is Our Passion), and our wonderful and dedicated case management staff. Empower New Haven is pleased to support the Village of Power, via their client participation in our Business Assistance Partnership with the Chamber of Commerce.
