Did You Hear: Service League of Boys (SLOBs) Assist Staying Put Members with Patio Furniture. November 9, 2023.

On Wednesday June 7th, Staying Put in New Canaan hosted our annual fundraiser, the Summer Soirée.

Staying Put in New Canaan in the days before Valentine’s Day mailed hundreds of heartfelt valentines to members, thanks to a friend of the organization who graciously donated envelopes and postage.

Staying Put in New Canaan is welcoming new Board members Paul Bamatter, Doug Gillespie, Jim Hilboldt and John Kerchoff.

Staying Put’s fundraising goal this year is to raise enough funds to cover operating expenses. Membership dues are at affordable levels and do not cover all expenses. Staying Put receives no town, state or federal funding and depends on support from the community.
Thank you for supporting Staying Put in New Canaan and allowing us to provide important services to New Canaan seniors, their loved ones, and the entire community!
We would like to extend our most sincere thanks to our gracious hostess, Lila Coleman, our generous sponsors, and our dedicated volunteers.
