September 2025

I hope everyone is enjoying our beautiful weather and looking forward to a gorgeous Fall in Silvermine! The season is shaping up to be a busy one. Mark your calendars for our next Passion Pod (9/5), hosted by yours truly, on “all things home design.”  Let’s enjoy champagne and desserts as we share tips and sources for home decorating projects. Our Silvermine Mixer at Waveny Polo Grill in New Canaan on 9/19 will be a wonderful (and very informal) way to meet neighbors and make new friends. THE event of the season is our ever-popular Fall Social on 10/17 at Whispering Oaks in Norwalk– a beautiful venue on 60+ acres that is sure to be stunning in its kaleidoscope of autumnal color. In store are great food and drink, live music, gift basket raffles, a 50/50 raffle, the announcement of our 2025 Photo Contest winners and our 2026 plans. The Social is a major fundraiser for our annual Scholarship Fund. We are looking for sponsors to help defray the cost (remember, the SCA is a non-profit, so your donations are tax-deductible). We are forever grateful to Rob Hutchinson of Hutchinson Tree Care in Silvermine for his generous sponsorship of the cocktail hour! We’re hoping there are more members who are interested in helping to make this event a major success– please e-mail me at info@silvermineassociation.org to discuss how you can help either as an individual or a business. Thank you so much!  See you around Silvermine.
