Honoring our Soliders!
In time for Memorial Day, the Boy Scouts of troop 41 under the watchful eye of Scoutmaster Brian Cleveland and the guidance of our very own Senior Patrol Leader Seth Glassman, recently placed flags for our veterans in Congregation Or Shalom cemetery on Derby-Milford Road. In addition, flags were replaced at our Shelton and West Haven cemeteries thanks to our congregants Sharon Teller, Roger Hess and Gordon Lann. The USA made American Flags are purchased annually through the generosity of our Congregation Or Shalom Men's Club and the Yellow Candle Fund. If you are interested in donating to the Yellow Candle fund, you can here.
