PROJECT CONNECT CFCE
OCTOBER, NOVEMBER & DECEMBER NEWSLETTER 2022
Hello to all!
I am Andrea Witherell, Project Connect Coordinator, and I am excited to welcome you to our fabulous new space! Project Connect is fortunate to have a modern space with new equipment courtesy of APS and area carpets courtesy of our PTO. We have a great lineup of playgroups listed on the following pages!
First, a few details to note:
Our new address is 1 Blue Pride Way; however, this will not give you results on GPS. The old Attleboro High School address is 100 Rathbun Willard Drive. Project Connect is the last doors to the left of Central Office. The doors are locked, please use the bell and you will be buzzed in.
Parking will be a challenge for the first few weeks so plan accordingly. Parking for visitors is set aside in Lot B, the lot nearest the construction. Eleven spots facing Central Office are designated for visitors. If these are taken, you might find a visitor spot in Lot A, across from Central Office, or in the general parking to the right of the building or up by the fields. Street parking is limited, you will see cars along Rathbun Willard Drive near the construction. The good news is we will soon have parking (should be available November 1) at our end of the building along with a playground that we will be sharing with The Children's Center.
Once again, welcome back to indoor playgroups, I look forward to seeing you soon!
Andrea
Project Connect Open House ~ Saturday October 15th
