Reinvest in our Community!
_______________________________________________________________


NCCFMost people buy an Ib.l.a.s.t. card because it saves money or they want to show support for the local merchants but do you know that by buying an Ib.l.a.s.t. card every year you are also building up the charitable fund at the New Canaan Community Foundation? 20% of all Ib.la.s.t. card sales are donated back into the community so when you buy a card you're not only saving money and supporting the local merchants but you're also building up the charitable fund that reinvests in our community! One more good reason to make sure you buy your 2010 card (and aren't still using your 2009 card!). Click here to buy your 2010 card.. 
 
The Local First Fund was established by Ib.l.a.s.t. to bolster the vitality of New Canaan by supporting projects that attract visitors and retail prospects as well as make New Canaan an enjoyable place to live, shop and do business. Read more about the Fund...
 
This Fund is generously managed by the New Canaan Community Foundation.

WeirThe Weir: Final Performances
March 12 & 13th
Powerhouse Theatre
Waveny Park
Conor McPherson penned The Weir at age 26 and it won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Play in 1997.  Set in a smoky, peat warmed pub near Leitrim, Connaught in rural Ireland, the play is about four men who have grown up together and are spending a night at the pub.  In the midst of the drinking, laughing, joking and carrying on, there is a drama going on. When a Dublin woman arrives, they fluff their feathers and tell stories, ghostly and otherwise, to probably the first person in decades whom they haven't seen every day of their lives.  Thus opens a floodgate (weir) of tales, theirs and hers, each tumbling closer to the heart of the human condition.
