The Rays of Hope Fund

The Rays of Hope Fund was started to enable the South Windsor Community Foundation to raise money and to grant worthy community projects funds to execute these projects.

Fundraising is primarily done through mailings and community outreach and appearances at community events.

A distribution committee provides a form to any interested parties who wish to submit an application requesting funds and discussing their use of those funds. Criteria are established to award funds based on the number of people served and the impact on those people.

Mike, thanks for using your real name, and for trying to have a repsectful discourse. I wish moreRead More would do so. I disagree with you, but we can agree to disagree. I do not berate people's ideas, and I have never threatened anyone. My only criticism has been of the tactic of taking pot shots from the dark. I believe that "Steve Phillips" is an elected official, which makes his rants that much more objectionable by using a pseudonym. I don't mind criticism. What I do mind is shadowy mud slinging that makes it so difficult for either party to recruit good people to run for office. There are a lot of good people who see the gratuitous insults and maligning, and say that they do not want to subject themselves to that nonsense. Using real names raises the level of discourse and allows for a real exchange of ideas.

More red-herring here! First Mr. McCann and now Mr. Riley... Really, gentlemen? You do yourselvesRead More a disservice. How can you expect to be taken seriously as town leaders if you would continue to persist in berating folks on public blogs about their user names?!? It is undignified. Quite plainly you are bullying here – I question your judgment.

Mr. Riley your arrogance will be your downfall as well. You elitists do not get it. Jobs may haveRead More been created in the state but folks are still losing their homes.
"Visionaries" of South Windsor lead by McCann and Daugherty hard at work...

Mr. McCann arrogantly conducts himself on the Town Council and here as if he is above criticism,Read More forgetting (or simply not caring) about the privilege and responsibility serving elected office holds. A privilege and responsibility granted by the very same constituents McCann insults with comments above. Lacking empathy and humility are never traits respected leaders aspire, and sadly what McCann has disrespectfully expressed here.

Totally agree with you Mr. Sullivan. There are some who cannot use their real name or only a firstRead More name at fear of being attacked. Being a politician Mr. McCann has no problem speaking out. If you disagree with him you get ripped apart. I have witnessed it first hand by watching the council meetings on TV.

Some folks choose not to use their real or full names on public bulletin boards and blogs…Read More Welcome to the 21st century Mr. McCann! Indeed the terms of use for Patch say quite clearly: "We encourage, but do not require, that the user name you provide be your real name." Mr. McCann you have chosen to be a public figure and politician. Others who may only wish to participate anonymously on blogs and postings such as these are not required to participate at whatever _you_ may deem to be an acceptable level.

If tax, spend, borrow and figure out how to pay for it later is the way to budget for the future,Read More I'll take the old guard, thank you.

I believe there's a misprint - the title should have been "BORROWING for the future"?
