The New Haven firefighters union donated $1,000 to Farnam House to honor not only the work of the community center in the Fair Haven community, but also an East Side alder who has supported it.
On Thursday, Local 825 President Frank Ricci and Vice President Michael Vendetto, on behalf of their members, presented a big check — a blown-up version of a $1,000 gift — to Board of Alders Majority Leader Alphose Paolillo Jr. made out to the Farnam House during an event at Anthony’s Ocean View.
“We were proud to play a small role in a great day to pay tribute to the Farnam House and Alphonse Paolillo,” according to a press release from the union. “Alphonse Paolillo Jr. and the Farnam House, both exemplify dedication to our community.
“Alphonse and the Farnam house understand and demonstrates the values of mentoring and giving back to our community by developing future leaders though sports and education.”
Farnam Neighborhood House is the oldest neighborhood recreational center in South Central Connecticut, according to the house’s website.
