SUBASE Submarine Learning
Center receives LEED Silver Award
By MCSN Gabriel Bevan
GROTON, Conn. -
Leadership from Naval
Facilities and Engineering
Command Mid-Atlantic
(NAVFAC MIDLANT),
Naval Submarine Base
New London (SUBASE),
and the Submarine
Learning Center (SLC),
celebrated a milestone in
SUBASEs commitment to
a greener installation
future, May 2.
Captain Mark R.
Libonate, command-
ing officer, NAVFAC
MIDLANT; presented Capt.
Marc Denno, SUBASE
commanding officer; and
William Kelly, technical
services director for the
SLC, with a LEED Silver
Award for excellence in
energy efficiency and
environmentally friendly
design of the SLC head-
quarters building aboard
the base.
Leadership in Energy
and Environmental Design
(LEED) awards were devel-
oped by the U.S. Green
Building Council. LEED is
intended to provide build-
ing owners and operators
a concise framework for
identifying and imple-
menting practical and
measurable green building
design, construction, oper-
ations, and maintenance
solutions.
This is a greener
and leaner Navy facil-
ity, said Denno of the
SLC Headquarters. The
secretary of the Navy
and commander of Navy
Installations Command
have challenged the ser-
vice and the shore installa-
tion enterprise in particu-
lar. Theyve laid down the
gauntlet for us to continue
to be better stewards of
the environment and tax
dollars in every possible
step and outcome of the
military construction pro-
cess. This state-of-the-art
headquarters exemplifies
the impact of our ongoing
and dynamic base-wide
transformation effort.
The $7 million dol-
lar SLC Headquarters is
the most environmen-
tally friendly and energy
efficient facility aboard
SUBASE.
Dedicated in August
2011, the headquarters is
the first facility of its kind
to be built with LEED stan-
dards on board the base.
Its nearly 16,000 square
foot space was construct-
ed with green materials
and products with signifi-
cant amounts of recycled
content.
The design and con-
struction incorporated
recycled materials from
acoustic ceilings, rigid
roof insulation, and gyp-
sum wall board, to car-
pet and resilient flooring,
said Lieutenant Peter C.
Daddona, the SLC proj-
ect construction manager
from NAVFAC MIDLANTs
Facilities Engineering
and Acquisition Division
Office at the Public Works
Department aboard the
base. Additionally, only
materials that were tested
and certified for low emis-
sions of volatile organic

Call Center in Norfolk, May 14. After
this date, the phone number to call for
facilities emergency service call work
will be (866) 477-7206. This transfer
is being initiated to streamline work
induction and realize manpower effi-
ciencies. The Work Reception Desk will
continue to receive emergency calls 24
hours a day. For all other nonemer-
gency facility repair or project requests,
customers should continue to submit
the standard work request form via

GROTON, Conn. - The
Naval Submarine Base
New London sexual
assault response coordi-
nators office will host
a four-day victim advo-
cate training course July
24 27, to equip Sailors
with the skills required
to provide victims with
appropriate responsive
care.
The Sexual Assault
Prevention and Response
program is designed to
eliminate sexual assault
in the Navy by rais-
ing awareness through
education, training,
response and victim
advocacy.
Sexual assault is a
crime. Its not tolerat-
ed and is a violation of
Navy core values.
With the program,
certified sailors will be
trained to provide vic-
tims with the support and
assistance they need.
Deb Drucker, SARC
for NAVSUBASENLON
said that victim advo-
cates are volunteer
active-duty military per-
sonnel and Department
of Defense civilians who
provide crisis interven-
tion, referrals and ongo-
ing non-clinical support
to victims of sexual
assault.
Volunteers wont be
providing clinical coun-
seling or other profes-
sional services, she said.
Their primary duty is
to ensure victims receive
care and support.
Eligible personnel
interested in becoming
a victim advocate must
complete an interview
and 30 hours of train-
ing with the SARC office
located in the Fleet and
Family Support Center.
For more information
about becoming a vic-
tim advocate, contact
Deb Drucker at (860)

GROTON, Conn. With
the economy still recover-
ing and people tightening
their belts to make ends
meet, one might think con-
tributions to the Navy and
Marine Corps Relief Society
(NMCRS) would be lower
than usual. This is not the
case at Naval Submarine
Base New London (SUBASE)
during this years annual
NMCRS fund drive, which
began March 1 and will end
May 31.
At SUBASE, Sailors are
not only doing their part
to help but also are near-
ing the all time record
total for funds raised in
the Northeast Region.
The record high, some
$265,000 dollars was set in
2005; as of May 7, SUBASE
and its tenant command
were only $30,000 short of
the record with the annual
active duty drive ending
on May 31.
Most of the funds given
to service members by the
society come from con-
tributions made by other
Sailors and Marines, so in
reality it is the Navy and
Marine Corps taking care
of their own.
The last all-time high
was made before the
most recent BRAC, said
Machinist Mate 1st class
Rocky Rende, assistant
NMCRS fund drive coordi-
nator for SUBASE. With
fewer bases and Sailors,
plus the current economy,
the fact that we are get-
ting so close to the all
time high speaks volumes
about our community.
Petty Officer Rende and
Chief Machinist Mate Chad
Craycraft have been the faces
of the SUBASE NMCRS fund
drive according to Tamara
Scace, NMCRS President,
Groton office.
Their effort has been
phenomanal, said Scace.
They have been out shak-
ing the bushes, making
face-to-face contact, ensur-
ing every command at
SUBASE has the opportu-
nity to participate.
This year the com-
mands leading the way are
Naval Submarine School
(SUBSCOL) with more than
$53,000 dollars raised, and
on SUBASEs waterfront the
USS Annapolis (SSN 760)
and USS New Mexico (SSN
779) are leading the charge
with more than $12,000
dallars raised each.
NMCRS, established
in 1904, gives Sailors and
Marines whether active duty,
reserves or retired a means
to get money when they des-
perately need it. It may be
a bill they cannot pay, a
vehicle repair, or the need
for grocery money when the
unexpected happens and
they need cash for food.
Last year the society at
SUBASE raised $200,000
dollars, but gave out more
than $660,000 in inter-
est free loans and grants.
The Societys Quick Assist
Loans (QAL) was about 60
to 70 percent of the loans
given out by the Groton
office according to Scace.
I would like to work
myself out of a job, said
Scace. The more we edu-
cate Sailors about han-
dling their finances, the
better off they will be.
Id like to see our Sailors
become so great at han-
dling their money that the
society is only needed for
emergency leave issues.

By MC1(AW) Peter D. Blair
GROTON, Conn. No
matter your status in the
military, be it active duty,
reserve, retired or depen-
dant, registration in the
Defense Enrollment
Eligibility Reporting System
(DEERS) is an integral part
in getting your Tricare ben-
efits eligibility established.
Without DEERS enrollment
or correct updates, service
members and their families
could find that their medical
coverage has lapsed leav-
ing problems with Tricare
claims.
However, you can update
DEERS on your own by
numerous ways, including
by mail, fax, telephone, or
in person.
Every time you advance,
reenlist, transfer or have a
change in your dependants
status an update should be
made.
Sailors should review their
DEERS information every
couple of years, said Adam
Getty, Naval Submarine Base
New London (SUBASE)
DEERS site representative.
But should a Sailor get mar-
ried, divorced, have a child
or adopt, a DEERS update
should be made immedi-
ately.
Service members can
use the Web site www.
dmdc.osd.mil/milconnect
to update their address, e-
mail information or phone
numbers.
While you are deployed,
if an important update
must be made, your spouse
can also make updates to
DEERS.
Spouses and dependants
can make changes to DEERS
enrollment with a valid
power of attorney to do so
on their sponsors behaves,
said Getty. Whether its a
general power of attorney,
or a special power of attor-
ney specifically for DEERS
transactions.
If you transfer from one
part of the country to anoth-
er, you will need to make
an update in DEERS. Tricare
operates from three separate
regions and incorrect DEERS
info could be a problem.
It is very important to
update your address, added
Getty. If you go to another
part of the country and have
to seek medical treatment
the TRICARE system in the
new region might not recog-
nized the member or depen-
dant as eligible for care.
If you cannot get to a
DEERS office to make an
update you can Fax or mail
documents to the Defense
Manpower Data Center
Support center. The address
is 400 Gigling Road, Seaside,
CA 93955-6771. The fax
number is (831) 655-8317.
If you mail or fax informa-
tion, provide the changes
and supporting documenta-
tion for the change.
Getty stressed that if a
certified copy is required
such as divorce paper work,
members should either mail
the original copy or come
into a DEERS office.
Some documents are not
considered certified after
they are faxed, added Getty.
Every attempt should be
made to present a DEERS
representative with the orig-
inal paper work.

Crime prevention: Fake consumer goods
By Kristopher Lathrop
Physical Security Department
GROTON, Conn. -
Everyone loves going to
New York City and paying
a good price for a knock off
watch, a pair of sun glasses,
or boot leg DVDs. But fake
consumer goods do a lot
of harm. While some offer
purchasers lower prices
than they might pay for
an original, the counterfeit
goods are usually of poor
quality. They unfairly com-
pete with the originals, too,
causing losses in revenue;
cost people their jobs when
sales of the originals are
diminished by unfair com-
petition; undermine eco-
nomic growth; tarnish the
reputation of the original
brand; and have the poten-
tial for causing sickness,
injury, and even death.
The sale of fake consum-
er goods also breeds crime.
Because knockoffs are pro-
duced so cheaply, the profit
margin is high, attracting
criminals and organized
crime groups who provide
consumer goods at the
wholesale level to vendors,
discount stores, and even
higher-end merchants who
then sell them to the pub-
lic. These criminals, gangs
in particular, then use the
profits to fund other crimi-
nal activities, which in turn
damage lives and destroy
neighborhoods.
The taxpayer is hurt, too.
Tax revenue that could go to
schools, parks and munici-
pal employees like firefight-
ers and law enforcement
officers is lost because the
manufacturerand the sell-
er and the buyerdont pay
taxes. There is even the loss
of income tax revenue from
the people who lose their
jobs at legitimate manufac-
turing plants.
Just about anything can
be counterfeited and just
about anything is. While
everyone is familiar with
the knockoffs of handbags,
apparel, and CDs and DVDs
that are available from
street vendors in any major
city, what many people
dont know is that auto
parts and even parts for air-
planes and spacecraft have
been counterfeited. Most
are imported from coun-
tries where labor is cheap.
Real danger occurs when
products like baby formula
and soap are counterfeit-
ed. Even birth control pills
have been counterfeited.
The U.S. Chamber of
Commerce estimates the
value of pirated consum-
er goods and knockoffs
at $650 billion a year, a
staggering sum. And more
than 750,000 U.S. jobs are
lost because of the trade
in counterfeit consumer
goods each year.
Even though government
agencies such as the FBI
and the U.S. Department
of Justice are hot on the
trail of many counterfeiters,
they have trouble keeping
up with the sheer volume
of fake, imported consumer
goods, most of which come
from overseas, particular-
ly from China and other
Southeast Asian countries.
China accounts for 79 per-
cent of all knockoffs that
are imported into the United
States. In 2009, the Customs
and Border Protection
Agency of Immigration
and Customs Enforcement,
Department of Homeland
Security, made 14,841 sei-
zures of counterfeit goods,
straining resources but put-
ting a dent in the supply of
illegal goods.
Some of the most preva-
lent fake products are auto
parts. These fake products
range from decorative items
like grilles and hubcaps to
critical safety components
including brakes. Not only
do these fake goods compete
unfairly with the originals
they mimic, but they pose
danger to drivers. According
to one car manufacturing
company executive, fake
car parts cost the U.S. auto
industry $12 billion a year.
Fake electrical goods also
pose a threat to U.S. consum-
ers. They include inferior
batteries, wires, sockets, cir-
cuit breakers, timers, fuses,
and lights. These counterfeits
are usually of inferior quality
and pose the risk of fire and
failure of the productif not
whole electrical systems.
Other fake goods include
the obvious: Footwear val-
ued at a stunning $100 mil-
lion in value was seized by
border and customs officials
in 2009. Ninety-eight percent
of this footwear came from
China. Consumer electronic
productscell phones, cam-
eras, music players, even
computersvalued at more
than $38 million were also
seized that year. Handbags,
wallets, and backpacks
rounded out the Top Three
list of fake imported goods
with a value of more than
$21.5 million. And these are
just the products that were
caught. Other commonly
faked consumer goods
include clothes, watches,
jewelry, and toyswhose
shoddy construction and fin-
ishes may make them a dan-
ger to infants and children.
A trained eye will fre-
quently detect a fake. An
inspection can go a long
way toward eliminating a
product from the counterfeit
supply chain. Individual
consumers should also be
savvy when purchasing
goods, especially when the
prices are steeply discount-
ed. They will be protecting
themselves from purchasing
a shoddy product that may
also be unsafe. They can:
Examine the product
carefully for signs of bad
construction or design
Look closely at the logo
Try the product out,
especially if it is an elec-
tronic good
Ask where the product
came from
Ask who the seller is
sharing the profit with
Ask about any war-
ranty or guarantee
The dangers posed by the
sale of fake consumer goods
are well documented. In the
long run, the low price for
a cheaply made good may
end up costing more in the
long run when it needs to
be replaced. Not only do
consumers risk being ripped
off when they arent sure of
the quality or source of the
goods they are purchasing,
but they may unknowingly
be encouraging the spread
of gangs and organized
crime.

CRANSTON, R.I. - A
Commander, Submarine
Group 2 Sailor is giving
back to the community
through the Big Brothers
Big Sisters of the Ocean
State organization.
Sonar Technician
(Submarine) 2nd Class
(SS) Antwan Haywood,
who regularly volunteers
with the organization,
discussed his reasons for
volunteering and the crit-
ical role of mentoring.
I know personally
the impact that a posi-
tive role model can have.
When I think back to
when I was a kid, Im
thankful for and recog-
nize that I have become
the man I am today sim-
ply because people took
the time to care. Its only
right to pay it forward,
said Haywood.
Haywoods volunteer-
ing falls in line with the
Navys Brilliant on the
Basics. Mentorship is one
of the six fundamental
elements of the program.
SUBGRU 2 Command
Master Chief (SS)
Wesley Koshoffer praised
Haywoods initiative and
strong desire to give back
to the local communi-
ty and desire to apply
the Navys mentorship
philosophy to the Big
Brothers Big Sisters orga-
nization.
We have long recog-
nized that mentorship
is foundational to our
success as a Navy, said
Koshoffer. Mentorship
is extremely important in
the development of all
young men and women.
The other five core
elements of Brilliant
on the Basics include
sponsorship, indoctri-
nation, career develop-
ment boards, individual
recognition and a robust
ombudsman/family out-
reach program.
Heather Potter, pro-
gram coordinator, match
support specialist, Big
Brothers Big Sisters of the
Ocean State emphasized
the important role volun-
teers like Haywood pro-
vide, such as guidance
and support to minimize
at-risk behavior while
building aspirations and
boosting confidence of
the children they men-
tor.
Big Brothers Big Sisters
of the Ocean State is so
proud to have mentors
like Antwan Haywood.
Antwan has been an
amazing support to his
Little Brother Hector,
who currently resides in
the foster care system.
Antwan is consistent and
dependable. We truly
appreciate his dedication
to mentoring a child at
risk, said Potter.

NSMRL Seminar focuses on relationship between workplace lighting, health
By MCSN Gabriel Bevan
GROTON, Conn.
- Scientists from the
Lighting Research Center,
Rensselaer Polytechnic
Institute met with
researchers from the
Naval Submarine Medical
Research Laboratory as
well as engineers from
the Common Missile
and Human Systems
Departments of General
Dynamics Electric Boat to
discuss lighting as it relates
to health and workspace
illumination. The Lighting
Research Center (LRC) is
the worlds leading uni-
versity-based research and
education center devoted
to lighting. They con-
duct research into energy
efficiency, new products
and technologies, lighting
design, and human factors
issues.
After a brief tour of the
recently updated NSMRL
facilities, Dr. Mark Rea,
Director of the LRC present-
ed Remote Airfield Lighting:
Modeling Sequential Tasks
Using the Unified System of
Photometry. Investigators
from the U.S. Coast Guard
Research and Development
Center joined Electric Boat
and NSMRL for the semi-
nar.
Both Drs. Rae and Figueiro
have a history of collabora-
tions with NSMRL Principal
Investigators related to light-
ing and health. Recent stud-
ies by Rea, Figueiro, et al.,
demonstrate entrainment of
circadian rhythms with spe-
cific wavelengths of light.
The aim of a new collab-
orative study with NSMRL
Researcher, Lieutenant
Commander Soutiere, is to
develop and validate the
use of a personal light-treat-
ment device and light filtra-
tion glasses as a means to
phase-shift and/or phase-
lock circadian rhythms to
optimize operational readi-
ness. Many physical and
psychological attributes
particularly relevant to the
combatant including risk-
taking behavior, threat
detection, and decision
making are dependent on
biological rhythm phase.
By effectively controlling
the type and quantity of
light exposure the ability to
shift and maintain the cir-
cadian phase is achieved.
Research in and of itself
is a complex activity, often
requiring a mix of academic
or professional disciplines.
Sound collaborative initia-
tives such as between the
LRC and the NSMRL help
to promote greater research
results which then benefit
the warfighter, explains
Dr. Soutiere.
The United States
Submarine service has
a long and proud tradi-
tion of developing and
operating with leading
edge technologies. The
Naval Submarine Medical
Research Laboratory
(NSMRL) is a major con-
tributor to integrating
these technologies into
submarine crew opera-
tions. NSMRL is DoDs
Center for Undersea
Biomedical Research.
The laboratorys mission
is to protect the health
and enhance the perfor-
mance of warfighters
through submarine, div-
ing and surface biomedi-
cal research solutions.

compounds - VOCs - were
used.
Other design elements
of the headquarters will
result in lower energy and
cooling, use and costs,
according to Daddona. A
white Polyvinyl Chloride
(PVC) roof membrane
provides a reflective,
energy efficient, cool cap
to the building, and inte-
rior and exterior lighting
strategies optimize natu-
ral daylight.
Kelly has been impressed
with the buildings geo-
thermal cooling and heat-
ing system which Libonate
described as the epitome
of earth friendly and ener-
gy efficient expertise.
The arrangement uses
wells drilled into the
earth, a closed loop gly-
col system, and a brazed
heat exchanger to transfer
energy to a series of water-
to-air heat pumps located
throughout the building.
The result is the SLC
headquarters is roughly
30-40 percent more energy
efficient than the energy
code standard for commer-
cial buildings in the United
States, and the geothermal
system will pay for itself
in less than 10 years.
For those at the award pre-
sentation, the LEED Silver
recognition was a welcome
early return on investment.
It is very nice to be
recognized for the work
that SUBASE has and will
continue to do in order to
align itself more closely
with the SECNAVs initia-
tive, Daddona said.
For Denno the award
sets the bar at SUBASE
and will serve at the cata-
lyst for future greener
and leaner infrastruc-
ture.
Sure the SLC is now
recognized as the Silver
Standard for Leadership in
Energy and Environmental
Design, but its significant
and impactful initiatives
make it a gold standard on
SUBASE, said Denno.

GROTON, Conn. Submarine Veterans,
Sailors, family and friends gathered at
the Submarine Veterans of World War II
Memorial East May 5, to honor the sub-
marines and submariners lost before, dur-
ing, and after WWII. The ceremony is a
time-honored tradition hosted by Submarine
Veterans, Inc. (SUBVETS), the faternal orga-
nization whose guiding principle is to per-
petuate the memory of those submariners
who gave their lives while serving their
country and encompasses the SUBVETS of
WWII.
2012 marked the 48th Anniversary of the
founding of SUBVETS of WWII.
While we celebrate our organiza-
tions anniversary, said SUBVETS Groton
Commander John J. Carcioppolo. Sadly we
must stop and remember our shipmates on
eternal patrol.
During the ceremony, submarine Veterans
of WWII and Holland club members were
recognized for their contributions to the sub-
marine force. As each group was called out,
SUBVETS WWII, Holland Club members,
the crowd applauded the men who gave so
much in defense of the United States.
These men are the heroes of the subma-
rine force, said Carcioppolo. They are the
giants that we carry our current submarine
force on.
Guest speaker and fellow submariner
Captain David A. Roberts, Commanding
Officer of SUBSCOL lauded the Submarine
veterans of WWII, and reminded those in
attendance why it is important to remember
their heroism.
I think it is important that the younger
generation learn about the contributions
and sacrifices that the submariners of WWII
have made, said Roberts. I am very proud
to be a qualified submariner, and be in the
presence of so many members of the Holland
Club.
During the tolling of the boats Sailors from
Basic Enlisted Submarine School (BESS)
lower each a ships flag to honor each of the
65 submarines lost, as the boats names and
number of men lost were called out.
The students in SUBSCOL are the bright
shining stars in the sub forces future, said
Carcioppolo. They are waiting and hungry
for their turn to serve in submarines tomor-
row, and write the next pages in our subma-
rine force history.
The ceremony concluded with a wreath
laying ceremony, 21-gun salute by the
Naval Submarine Support Facility (NSSF)
rifle team, a bagpipe and drum rendition
of Amazing Grace, Taps, and America the
beautiful, sung by Jennifer Emerson.

have made.

WASHINGTON - Registration kicks off this month
for a shared summer reading program that will reach
military families in all branches around the globe.
Navy readers of all ages can dig into a buffet of book
choices around the theme Reading Is So Delicious.
Most programs will run eight weeks with open
enrollment during the summer. Activities will range
by location and include everything from Edible Art
projects to discussions of books like James and the
Giant Peach.
Last year we saw a 400 percent increase in partici-
pation across the program, and we plan to continue
this trend with creative programs that connect with
readers of all ages, said Nancy Cook. This years
theme ties in two great flavors reading for the fun of
it and healthy eating. We want to create and support
a bumper crop of voracious readers!
Research spanning 100 years shows that students
typically score lower on standardized tests at the end
of summer vacation than they do on the same tests
at the beginning of the summer. Summer reading
programs can help to offset this loss, because stud-
ies also indicate students who read recreationally
out-performed those who dont. Students read more
when they can choose materials based on their own
interests.
This year marks the third in which 250 base and
installation libraries will participate in the shared
summer reading program. Last years program logged
more than 10 million minutes spent reading by chil-
dren and families.
Sponsored by the Department of Defense with
program content developed by iREAD, Reading Is
So Delicious will reach thousands of families. The
theme is brought to life by illustrators Barry Gott,
Chris Eliopoulos, Lucy Knisley, and Patrick Girouard.
Resource guides for the program were developed by
librarians for librarians to motivate children to read.
Summer reading programs are valuable not only
in reducing fall-off in educational attainment over the
summer, but as a means for families and children to
spend time together, an especially important aspect
for military families,
For more information on the program, call Nancy Cook
at (860) 694-2578 or e-mail nancy.cook@navy.mil.

8 THE DOLPHIN Thursday, May 10, 2012
Wounded Warriors, Sailors participate in
Travelers Championship Media Day
The Riverfront Childrens Center of Groton will host
the Sixth Annual Riverfront Run, May 19 at 9:30 a.m. The
Riverfront Run is the only scheduled annual road race in
Groton City and a great way to kick off the running season,
whether you are a serious runner or just want to have a fun
morning at Eastern Point Beach. All ages and abilities are
welcome.
The Riverfront Run offers two courses, a 5K+
Road Race and a Family Fun Run. The 5K+ is a
USATF certified, 3.425 mile loop course that begins
and ends at Eastern Point Beach and follows a scenic
route through Shennecossett Golf Course and local
neighborhoods. The course is relatively flat and
fast; and timing is by SNERRO. The Family Fun Run
follows a shorter course on quiet residential streets
and is perfect for younger runners and families,
including those with strollers. All families receive
a participation certificate and all children receive a
medal for finishing.
Early registration fee for the Riverfront Run is $15 per
person for either course. Children under 10 are free with
a registered adult and there is a family maximum of $45.
Online registration is available now at www.imAthlete.
com, or by contacting the Riverfront Childrens Center at
susanbailey01@comcast.net. Race day registration is $20
and open between 8 and 9:15 am. All pre-registered par-
ticipants receive event T-shirts, which are available on race
day while they last.
The 2012 Riverfront Run will again host the Bartnicki
Prize, a cash award to a non-placing runner in the 5K
field and the Bartnicki Family Raffle, a cash prize to a
registered Fun Run participant chosen by random draw-
ing. The Bartnicki Family of Preston, long time road-racing
enthusiasts, sponsors both prizes. Prizes are awarded to
top finishers following the race, and delicious chowder,
also sponsored by the Bartnicki family, is served. The
Riverfront Run will also host the Connecticut Freemasons
CHIP identification program, which provides complete,
confidential ID packets for children. The service is free to
any Connecticut resident.
The Riverfront Childrens Center provides high quality,
NAEYC accredited early education experience and full time
care to more than 100 children each day, many from work-
ing families who would otherwise be unable to afford it.
Riverfront also offers referral services, on-site support, and
educational opportunities for parents.
The Riverfront Childrens Center is a 501-c-3 non-profit,
and contributions are tax deductible.
All proceeds of the Riverfront Run benefit Riverfronts
Tuition Assistance Program, which provides need based,
Center awarded scholarships to some of Riverfronts needi-
est, most at-risk children. The Riverfront Run is also seek-
ing volunteers to help on race day.
Contact Susan Bailey at the Riverfront Childrens Center,
(860) 445-2831, for further information.
