About The Elm City Freddy Fixer Parade – Originating in 1962, the Freddy Fixer Parade is nationally recognized as one of the oldest Black American parade in the northeast. As such, it is incumbent upon our community to honor this distinctive heritage and to always remember to continue to pay homage to the founders, the late Dr. Frederick F. Smith, Edna Carnegie-Baker, and Dr. Charles Twyman. Their vision is one of collective solidarity toward the common goal of neighborhood beautification that culminates into a yearly celebration through the Elm City Freddy Fixer Parade. Securing our own legacy through this consistent, constructive and harmonious display of our cultural norms, values and ethics will be the impetus that conveys the story of our history we want told for many generations to come.

Hometown Recycling Day

Hometown Recycling Day for New Haven residents and students!

Did you know that only 36% of the current amount of waste in CT is recycled, reused or reduced? Citizens of New Haven can help change that AND recycle their unwanted items at no charge, on Saturday, April 13th in New Haven!

Host: The New Haven Solid Waste and Recycling Authority is Hosting and sponsoring this MAJOR one day event.

  • TEXTILES (clothing, shoes, belts, hats, handbags) (dry and in plastic bags)
  • DOCUMENTS (sensitive papers to be shredded)

Goal: Hometown Recycling Day is an opportunity for citizens of New Haven and students to conveniently recycle unwanted items and at the same time serves to help Connecticut achieve it’s current goal of diverting 60% away from the municipal solid waste stream. Not only is this a collection event, it is also an occasion to learn about what we can do to make our world a more sustainable and
better place to live, as well proper household hazardous waste disposal and best practices for curbside recycling.

Background:

Only 12% of unused electronics are recycled currently in the U.S.
Only 15% of textiles (clothing, etc.) are recycled annually. 50,000 mattresses are discarded and not recycled every day in the U.S.

Sisters’ Journey Survivor of the Month – Lorretta D. Fuller

Read her story (thanks www.sistersjourney.org)

I was diagnosed with breast cancer on December 26, 2018.

I felt a mass under my left armpit in early December of that year. It was painful as I moved my arm. My previous mammogram and ultrasound were in September 2018 and showed no signs of any abnormalities.

I already had a scheduled appointment with my gynecologist in December before Christmas. After I told her what I felt, she examined me and told me to immediately go back to where I had my mammogram and ultrasound and not to leave until they saw me. For context, this was the week  before Christmas. I assured her I would go as soon as I left her office, and I did! Dr. Russo did another mammogram and ultrasound, and I had several biopsies.

I received “the call” on December 26, 2018. I was at work at the time, and surprisingly, I was very calm. I told my staff and went home and told my aunt. I had Stage 2 breast cancer.

My doctor already had made an appointment for me for the next day. I met with the medical team to discuss my treatment plan. I had several tests and images done to locate the exact area and size.

I told my doctor I was a little OCD and always liked to be in control, so I took out my calendar to write down what, when, and where. I asked a lot of questions, including when my hair would begin to fall out, so I could make appointments with my hairdresser and barber.

My treatment consisted of chemotherapy which started in February 2019, surgery, a left mastectomy, and radiation. I waited a few years. and later had reconstruction on the right side to be more balanced. I was 48 years old at the time of my diagnosis. I am blessed to see 54 years of life. I’m currently enjoying my sixth year of survivorship.

Throughout my journey, I had my family, my faith, and my medical team by my side. My Oncologist was excellent, explaining everything along the way. And I asked a lot of questions.

A  special thanks to my Aunt Pearl, who never left my side, accompanying me to all my appointments. She was my shoulder to lean on and my Rock.
