Greetings!
I want to invite you out this Friday morning to the Center for Advanced Engineering and Research's ground breaking ceremony at 9:30AM. The CAER is building a $7.6M research facility in the New London Business and Technology Center on Rt. 460 in New London. The research facility is a long awaited asset to the technology companies in our region and makes a strong statement to the future of our local economy. Come join the celebration and meet with local and state dignitaries on this momentous occasion. Also, we are still in need of about 10 volunteers for the regional FIRST Lego tournament on November 14. Please consider being a part of this exciting event.
Jonathan Whitt, Executive Director
