Each year, the Coalition for a Safe and Healthy Connecticut hosts their annual celebration meeting to share past successes, hear from great speakers and plan for upcoming work. It is a fun evening with good food and good friends. It is also a time for the coalition to honor special leaders that have helped along the way.

We are so excited to let you know that this year, our blogger Dena Fleno is a featured speaker at this event! She’ll be speaking about her Cleaner Living column (remember that 12 Days of Toxins series she did??) and will be talking more generally about the concerns moms have about the use of toxins in children’s products. We are so proud of her for being asked to do this and encourage you to attend to hear her speak!

She will be joined by Sarah Evans, PhD, who is a post-doctoral fellow in Environmental Pediatrics. Sarah works with Dr. Phil Landrigan and his team and will discuss her cutting edge research on phthalates.

The event is FREE and open to the public! Here’s the official invitation. Please share with your friends and colleagues as well and we hope to see you there!

*I’m also getting an award at this event for my efforts advocating on behalf of moms in the fight for toxic chemical reform. It felt really weird to include this info above but I know if I don’t put it somewhere my bloggers will call me out! So there.
