For instance, take a look at the website for Pinocchios friends - soft dolls made from children's drawings. That young entrepreneur developed her desired sewing skills, developed at Sew Create and Collaborate, into a fulfilling business.

EMMANUEL EPISCOPAL CHURCH, WESTON

Priest-in-Charge: Rev. Katy Piazza

Emmanuel Episcopal Church, on Lyons Plains Road, Weston, was built in 1845, as the result of a split in the membership of the Episcopal Church at Aspetuck corners (Easton). While some wanted the church built much farther east, Hanford Nichols, and his neighbor Walter Treadwell took matters into their own hands and built the church on donated land near their homes on Lyons Plains Road. Emmanuel is famous for its Family Fairlaunched in 1907, by The Ladies Sewing Society, as they hulled gallons of strawberries for shortcake to sell to fairgoers. Always a highpoint of Weston life, the Fair has been held every year, except for 1919, due to a 'flu epidemic. The 112th Family Fair is coming up this September, and will include the ever popular, "Best Chocolate Chip Cookie in Connecticut" contest. The Fair is famous for its camaraderie and for the joy it brings to the volunteers who run it, and those who attend it (see article on the Fair in The Weston Forum). A new tradition started in 2014 with The Arts Bloom in Weston, an art show and auction, featuring paintings, sketches, photographs, sculptures, and fine crafts, reflecting Weston’s heritage as a welcoming community for artists, and benefiting local charities. This year's Arts Bloom takes place June 1. The church has a new, beautiful and capacious Parish Hall, opened in 2013. The hall holds 277 people standing, 180 seated, and 131 sitting around tables. The Rev. Katharine "Katy" Piazza became the new priest-in-charge in 2015, taking over from the Rev. Rob Ross, who had retired. She has lived in Weston for the past seven years, growing up and attending college and grad. school in Ohio, and then serving in Pawling and Larchmont, N.Y.  Other church staff are Stephanie Larsen, the Church Administrator who has been at her job since 2009 andSteve Lewis, Director of Music at Emmanuel since 1978. Steve is also currently Dean of the Fairfield West Chapter of the American Guild of Organists. See Emmanuel Episcopal Church's website, and Facebook page.
THE DRAWING ROOM

A Creative Business Member

The Drawing Room Design Boutique, Gallery and Café, was first founded as a design boutique in Cos Cob in 2004. Design students together at Syracuse, Michael and Kenleigh Larock both entered Manhattan's advertising world on graduation. Kenleigh soon began pursuing her passion for food and design, and trained in decorative painting and faux finishing, while Michael became fascinated with web design. In 1999 they founded Larock Studios, a decorative painting business, and began working as design consultants for their clients, "trans- forming the ordinary in to the extraordinary." In 2004, their dreams came true with the opening of The Drawing Boutique, which they filled with home accessories, ranging from luxurious pillows, to antique furniture, jewelry and gifts. The The Drawing Room Café followed in 2005 - a European style eatery, which has developed its own coffee and espresso blends, roasted specifically for the café, as well as offering a wide variety of high quality loose tea. With their growing interest in opening a gallery, Michael and Kenleigh then moved their design boutique into a new, larger space in a bordering property, and the Gallery was created in 2012, occupying the space adjoining the café. The gallery features bi-monthly exhibits from local, national and international artists, and regularly hosts opening receptions, Artist Talks, and Artists’ Table Dinners. The dinners are a collaboration between two chefs who choose one work of art from each exhibiting artist in the current show, and then create a culinary interpretation of that work on the plate. They are inspired by color, shape, texture and concept, in each of their courses, and the result is always stunning. Artists frequently shown include CAFC members David Dunlop (see his show Rhythmic Transitions up through June 30) and Lori Glavin. Artists are invited to submit their work for consideration (see form here). See The Drawing Room website, Facebook page, Instagram, and Pinterest pages

The play will bring the national dialogue about gun violence to the Playhouse stage. Set six months after a student brought a gun to Thousand Pines Junior High School and killed his classmates, it shows the families of the children who died struggling with their need for answers and closure. "The support of the NEA is vital to all that we do at the Playhouse and is especially crucial when it comes to producing new work that can be artistically and financially risky,” said Mark Lamos, Playhouse artistic director.
