Stratford Community Fund sponsors exhibit

STRATFORD - A collection of photographs taken by local residents is on display through May at the Stratford Public Library.

The exhibit, sponsored by the Stratford Community Fund, features works of prize winners and other selected entries from the SCF’s annual amateur photography contests, contest Chairman Paul Reslink said in a statement.
The contests have focused on Stratford and its many attractions for the last three years.
The 2009 competition was opened to children and drew 62 entries. Information about this year’s contest will be announced. Winners from previous years are shown in photos.
The SCF, which originated in 1990, is a non-profit charitable organization that honors and recognizes people in the community for their volunteer services, fosters intellectual and creative development and supports efforts to improve the town’s physical appearance, the statement said.

The SCF recently honored four individuals and one non-profit agency for their dedicated volunteer service to the community at the third annual Lighthouse Awards ceremony at the Library, the statement said.

Information about the group can be obtained by contacting SCF President Bill O’Brien at 203-378-2606, ext. 106, or at bobrien@sterlinghousecc.org.
