Today we held a "wall raising" event to honor our partners and to kick off construction of the house.  The wall raisers included, from left to right in the photos:

Matt Laney, Senior Minister, Asylum Hill Congregational Church

Donna Manocchio, Associate Minister, Asylum Hill Congregational Church

Bill Russell, Asylum Hill Congregational Church

Valerio Giadone, Project Architect

Dulcie Giadone, Chair, Housing Committee, Asylum Hill Neighborhood Association

Jennifer Cassidy, Chair, Asylum Hill Neighborhood Association

Tony Mein, Chair, Education Committee, Asylum Hill Neighborhood Association

Ted Carroll, Moderator, Asylum Hill Congregational Church & Executive Director, Leadership Greater Hartford

Diane Cantello, Vice President, Corporate Social Responsibility, The Hartford

Andrew Daly, Assistant Vice President and Counsel, The Hartford & Member, NINA Board of Directors

Robert Yass, Vice President, Government Affairs, The Hartford & Member, NINA Board of Directors

Ken Johnson, Executive Director, NINA

They were ably guided in this endeavor by Mike Stockman and Jeff Giddings, who can be seen at different points in the foreground and the side of the action, respectively.

Following the ceremony, a group of volunteers from The Hartford pitched in to frame the first floor of the house, and by the end of the day we had the beginnings of something resembling a home!
