Connecticut Community Foundation
Give Local Fundraising Event
Hosted on Tuesday and Wednesday, May 5-6th, by the Connecticut Community Foundation, Give Local Greater Waterbury & Litchfield Hills is a 36-hour online community giving event. Give Local gives donors a chance to come together and lend their support to the nonprofit organizations that work every day to make our community stronger.
As a bonus, every dollar donated to participating nonprofits from 7 a.m. on May 5th to 7 p.m. on May 6th will be enhanced with bonus funds provided by the Connecticut Community Foundation and our generous Give Local sponsors. And nonprofits can win cash prizes during the event as well!
Together, our first two Give Local events raised more than $1.1 million that we distributed to over 150 nonprofits!
Give Local Greater Waterbury & Litchfield Hills raises money for the community, brings new donors and awareness to local nonprofits, and helps make our region a more vibrant place to live. This event coincides with a national giving day - Give Local America - on May 5, during which community foundations across the country are asking people in their communities to show their support for local nonprofits. In 2014, Give Local America participants raised over $50 million for groups in their local communities!

Roger Sherman Exhibit 2013 ...
This is an old event, from 2013
PERMANENT EXHIBIT
The newly refurbished and updated Roger Sherman exhibit is the first completed project for the New Milford Historical Society and Museum’s proposed “New Milford Room,” dedicated to the history, cultural happenings and industries of the town of New Milford. Other exhibits and displays are currently in progress. Covering one short wall of the downstairs gallery, the new Roger Sherman exhibit features duplicate documents, a large diorama, paintings and a large timeline depicting the work and accomplishments of this early Connecticut Patriot.
In the well-known painting of the Signing of the Declaration of Independence by John Trumbull, Roger Sherman stands prominently at the front with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams and John Hancock just as he did in life. A lithograph copy of the painting can be seen hanging to the left of the Roger Sherman exhibit accompanied by a key identifying the various members of the Continental Congress depicted in the painting and underneath both is a table with copies of the very important documents Roger Sherman helped to craft, which are available for visitors to read and study.
