Rooting for You: Supporting Community Members in Recovery

(L-R): Rebecca Marks, Congressman Jim Himes, Ruchi Gupta, Westport-Weston Chamber of Commerce President Matthew Mandell, State Senator Will Haskell. 

Congressman Jim Himes visited the locally-owned Granola Bar today for a pop up sale benefiting community members recovering from substance abuse. "Rooting for You," founded by Yale medical students Rebecca Marks (Westport) and Ruchi Gupta (Houston), donates proceeds from the sale of plants to purchase other plants for people in their recovery. "The plants give them focus and something to tend to," said Gupta. They plan more pop sales in the future. Contributed photo Westport Weston Chamber of Commerce.

Surf’s Up

Footwork

Skaters at Compo Beach practiced their footwork today as cooler temperatures allowed for a better day at the park.

Jumping into the Waves

Swimmers dove through the waves today along Compo Beach as heavy winds and a surf warning made for a perfect opportunity.
