Year in Review
2020Preservation matters, even in a pandemic.
As we approach the end of the year, we want to express our sincere gratitude for your continued support. Despite their difficulties, 2020’s “stay safe, stay home” and social distancing policies did have a silver lining for Preservation Connecticut. We found new ways of connecting with people and fulfilling our mission by increasing our social media presence, launching weekly Zoom talks, and creating new partnerships through our digital media.
We are optimistically looking forward to the start of a new year. Holding an in-person awards ceremony, increasing the number of our events, and rallying at the capital for preservation legislation and funding are just a few items we hope to resume in 2021. Here are some accomplishments and resources as we look back on 2020:
Please look forward to the new year with us and consider donating to our year-end campaign. Together, we can improve Connecticut’s future by caring for our past.
