This is a great experience for all who participate.

This 10-day trip will depart from JFK International Airport on Wednesday, April 10th, 2013.  You’ll start your visit in Rome, “The Eternal City”  where you’ll enjoy a panoramic tour, featuring the Piazza Venezia, the Circus Maximus, the Colosseum, the Arch of Constantine and the famous Piazza Navona.  From there, you’ll travel to Assisi,  birthplace of St Francis and then off to medieval Perugia.

Then you’re off for a scenic journey through Tuscany’s graceful low lying hills into Siena and eventually to Florence, the Cradle of Italian Rennaisance.  See the incredible statue of “David”, view the Cathedral of Santa Maria Del Fiore, the palazzo Vecchio and the Church of Santa Croce, burial place of Michaelangelo, Galileo and Machiavelli.  Then you’re on to Venice to see the sights, including a boat trip to the island of Murano for an up close glass making demonstration. 

Your tour will end with visits to Lugano, Switzerland, Como, Italy and Milan Malpensa.  Price of $3,499 per person (double occupancy) includes round trip flight, hotels,  tours,  14 meals, hotel transfers and air taxes. 

Come see a FREE slide show presentation about this trip.  A representative from the tour company will be here to tell us all about it and to answer any questions you may have.  The presentation will take place at the Oxford Town Hall at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, September 18th.  Please call the Parks and Recreation  office (203-888-2543, Ext 3041), to reserve your space.  All are welcome!

Thank you Paul. I just thought of sending it to you last night. I am going to do my best toRead More videotape it today. I will send it to you as soon as possible. Thanks for your assistance. Renee

Great to see IMTI leading the way into the solar future! I went to that school specifically toRead More become a solar electrician. It was before they had a solar program, at the time it was the E-2 electrical course. I see America has a chance to build prosperity again if we will be forward-looking about our manufacturing and energy strategies. My company, Made In USA Solar LLC, aims to contribute to that in a small way, doing what we can by only installing materials made in USA. Congrats to IMTI on their ambitious solar plans!

Archie, Your wrong. Constitutions were written for a reason not to determine whether it's a livingRead More document or not. Politicians and or Anti-Americans only believe that the constitutions are a dead document. They are excuses to put forth an agenda. Without Constitutions this country would be chaos and we wouldn't have the freedoms we have today. Only in your eye's does the words not apply because you think government can prevent and do anything they want. It's the people that rule, NOT THE POLITICIANS!

That is looking at the Constitution as a dead piece of paper instead of a living document. LivingRead More Constitutions read as if they were written yesterday not over 250 years ago. Is the Constitution living or dead. When common sense and ordinary circumstances show that the words of the Constitution no longer apply then the document is dead. That is what occurs when weapons/arms have become so powerful and dangerous that having them available in the numbers you have in this country is tantamount to ultimate murder and chaos. This is definitely not what the Framers had in mind as shown by the words prefacing the 2nd amendment referring to a militia.
