Woodbridge Human Services held their 27th Annual Volunteer Tea on Thursday, April 16. This year they honored 111 volunteers for their dedication and generosity to the community. The Tea was very well attended by Woodbridge dignitaries, volunteers, their friends and families.

Abby/Kai Keevil was selected as this year’s recipient of the First Selectman’s Youth Award. She was nominated by Jonathan Gorham for her work with the Massaro Farm along with other her volunteer commitments. Abby/Kai received a certificate and a plaque from Human Services, a citation from the State Legislature presented by Senator Joe Crisco, as well as a check donated by People’s Bank.
