  • Ridgefield's Good Citizen
    “With the opportunity and fortune of living in America, I am able to provide my own special way of giving back…I will remember the Patriots that fought long and hard for my freedom. And as I work hard to become a policy maker, I will not forget who and what gave me the courage to make a change.”

  • Lt. Leah Hughes Honored
    It's not every day that we get to celebrate and honor one of our own chapter daughters and veterans. Winter came early to greet us this year, but the warm hearts surrounding our veterans more than made up for the snow flurries. A salute to Leah (or Lee) one of the strongest women we have the privilege of knowing!
