A series of entries designed to capture the ongoing adventures of NINA! See how we came to be where we are today, and follow along as we enter the new century of social media!

The Friends of Sigourney Square Park hosted a “Fall into Autumn” event in the park today. The event featured activities and information about health and well-being.

The kitchen is coming together – the wainscoting is nearly in and painted, the cabinets are being installed, and the new window, where there used to be a door, is being framed and installed.
Around the rest of the house, the crown molding and baseboard is underway and a new mantle has been installed in the fireplace in the formal parlor (now the “ballroom”). Painting is happening on the second floor.
In the apartments, floors are going in, and kitchens are mostly done.
Today, NINA was featured on the MetroHartford Alliance's Pulse of the Region podcast. Our executive director, Ken Johnson, appeared on the program along with board chair Lynda Godkin and board president Andrew Daly. Ken, Lynda, and Andrew discussed NINA's past, present, and future in a wide ranging conversation with Kate Ballman, the host of the program. The program remains available to listen to online, and I also tried adding the "iframe path" to this entry. We'll see if that works!
Many thanks to board member Susan Winkler for making this connection for NINA and for all of her efforts to make it happen.
Part of a rotating crew who tended the garden at 102 Huntington Street throughout the summer. This was part of an experiment in volunteering at NINA: it was a long-term gig, and they set their own schedule, coming and going as they could be there. It worked well enough that we think we’ll do this again next summer.
This was their last day at it, and these were the last three standing.
Mostly on the third floor, where Do It Day was five days ago.
Ramon Martinez and Bob Rosenberg discussing the installations of the cabinets, among other things.
Cleaning out more of 102 Huntington with the defensive lines of the Trinity College men’s hockey team. Most of the work was on the third floor. After things were brought down, they were loaded into the back of Ramon’s truck and taken over to the dumpster at 847 Asylum Avenue.
