Every year, the SVIA sponsors a tree lighting ceremony in Wadawanuck Square (with generous help from the Stonington Free Library and the Stonington Borough Merchants Association) that includes a community carol sing and a special visit by Santa. For many years, community carolers have led the gathering in singing Christmas Carols - everyone is welcome to join in! Immediately following the lighting of the tree is the annual Holiday Stroll down Water Street, where local merchants keep their shops open late and welcome visitors. They also compete for best window decorations as part of Borough A-Glow! The SVIA also places lights and seasonal decorations in front of the Library, around Cannon Square, and on the viaduct. 56322 4000 Summer Concert Series - In Collaboration with La Grua In 1912 an "Old Timers' Concert" was held in Borough Hall to benefit the Village Improvement Society. This started a long tradition of the SVIA holding concerts, with local musicians, for public enjoyment. Through the decades, the concerts continued and moved to Wadawanuck Square for a period of time. The La Grua Center has established a very successful and enriched concert series in the Borough, and it made good sense to combine our tradition with their series - this has proved to be a wonderful collaboration. Today, the SVIA contributes to La Grua's summer Concerts on the Green series in order to support a local musician, or group, and to help with public awareness for Borough residents. 17066 22503 The SVIA is pleased to assume the management of the Borough's July 4th parade, a long-standing, beloved tradition. Historic Stonington will continue to organize the reading of the Declaration of Independence in Wadawanuck Square immediately following the parade. The reading will then be followed by the SVIA Ice Cream Social with ice cream donated by Dog Watch Cafe. 318333 true false false false false false false true false false true false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 27 0 true 1 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 16 16 false false false false true true false true true false false true true true true false false false false false CT X X Maureen Godin 5168510893 PO Box 18 Stonington CT 06378 X Jamie Lewis Treasurer 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Jonathan Shockley Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tom Frohnapfel Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Karen Appleman Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sally McBee Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Tim Metzger Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Stephanie Ferguson Vice President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 John Stone Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Brandon Watson President 4.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Ann Buffum Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Annette Bienkowski Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lori Dyer Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Beth Nichols Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Andrea Chalon Director 3.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Mary Ettinger Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sandy Frohmson Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lindsay Harper Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 140436 140436 Projects 120698 120698 120698 15088 15088 0 0 43920 43920 43920 43920 0 0 0 0 0 320142 120698 59008 0 0 0 0 0 0 39723 39723 0 0 3294 3294 0 0 14695 7964 6731 0 0 0 0 1136 186 950 0 3467 3467 0 58704 58704 0 0 0 0 0 40518 40187 331 18471 15300 3171 Direct project expense 100871 100871 Contract Services 42290 42290 MISC EXPENSES 5860 5860 Printing and Publications 4211 4211 3767 2136 1631 337007 318333 18674 0 347313 351904 0 0 4275 4284 0 0 0 0 4609 7283 1244486 769002 483613 475484 169995 199969 0 0 0 0 1009805 1038924 4653 30651 5600 4046 10253 34697 X 957138 961813 42414 42414 999552 1004227 1009805 1038924 -16865 21540 X true X false false false X 126144 232660 226948 94162 140436 820350 0 0 126144 232660 226948 94162 140436 820350 0 820350 53430 99104 10371 4586 15088 182579 0 0 1002929 396818 0.81800 0.79170 X 36800 X X false 102518 102518 212325 187481 24844 810754 507396 303358 5637 634 5003 113252 73491 39761 475484 Due to MH 46 security deposits 4000 4046 X Part III, Line 4: Description of organization's collections and how it furthers its purpose.
