North Haven Goes Pink for the Cure. The Connecticut Women will be donning their pink clothes and wigs while riding their motorcycles through the Town of North Haven. The Connecticut Women have posted pink ribbons on many of the trees and poles in Town. These ribbons are to remind us that for women in the United States breast cancer is the second most common cause of cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death. The cycle run will begin at 11:45 a.m. from

222 Elm Street North

Haven. The procession of women riders will proceed through the center district of Town, along

Washington Avenue

and end at the North Haven High School 221 Elm Street. Upon their return to the High School they will be greeted by First Selectman, Michael J. Freda who will be presenting the group with a Proclamation declaring October 23^rd Go Pink for the Cure Day in North Haven.

Prescription Medication Disposal Event, North Haven is also proud to announce that we will be holding our second Prescription Medication Disposal Event, sponsored by the North Haven Substance Abuse Prevention Council, also being held at the High School, on the

Elm Street

side entrance from 10 am to 2 pm. This event is the perfect opportunity for residents and non-residents from neighboring towns to dispose of expired and unwanted medications around their homes. The NHSAPC is urging residents to help protect their family, community, and the environment by properly disposing of medications they no longer need, it only takes a few minutes, and is confidential. All medications will be properly disposed of by a licensed medical waste disposal company. This event is important to North Haven on several levels; Turning in unused drugs ensures that they will not be used for recreational purposes and helps to keep our water clean.

Many local businesses and community groups are participating, with a “Taste of North Haven” food court, a variety of local entertainment, performances, demonstrations, raffles, samples, “touch-a-truck” and more, the event promises to be fun for all.
