Three Tuesday To-Dos

It’s summer. Looking for something to do tonight? Here are three options…

Hartford’s Young Professionals Taskforce will hold a public hearing to give other young professionals the opportunity to express what they believe Hartford needs to do to attract and retain its young workforce. The hearing will be held at 6:00pm, June 24, 2008, in the City Council Chambers, City Hall, 500 Main Street, Hartford. Thanks to Kerri for linking to a new blog, Live in Hartford, which told me more about this event. If you are a young professional that lives or works in Hartford, you might want to attend to share and listen to ideas. And also meet more young professionals.

West Hartford’s Town Council will meet tonight at 7:30pm and begin proposing ways to cut the town budget, as it was recently defeated in a referendum vote. What will stay and what will go? Here are two other blogs with articles and reader suggestions, WH Forums and Talk of West Hartford. You can watch in person at Town Hall or watch West Hartford Cable TV.

REI in West Hartford will be hosting a discussion at 7:00pm on Summer Dog Adventures in Connecticut. Learn about trail etiquette, dog safety and first aid, and equipment that will make your hikes and swims safer and more fun. You need to register for this free event by calling 860-233-2211. No dogs allowed in REI, but a good opportunity to get fun ideas for Fido this summer.
