 Maggie's Comfort Corner
After a very labor intensive school year schedule, Maggie’s handlers got a bit of a reprieve during the dog days of summer, yet Newtown Comfort still performed valuable ministering.
 The regular visits to West Haven’s VA Hospital cancer ward and Danbury’s Almost Home Adult Daycare continued, where Maggie (and her handlers) are much loved and appreciated.  And, of course, Sunday church greetings continued through the summer – Maggie loves seeing her extended family once a week!
 Other summer activity included:
  • Adding a new client who requested regular visits - Amos House in Danbury, a residential living facility and program for homeless women and children to transition to permanent housing.  The families and staff that Maggie visits there are very grateful. 
  • Visiting the Sandy Hook School library during its summer open hours.  We met some incoming kindergarteners who enjoyed “reading” their picture books to Maggie.  They also thought it was pretty cool to learn that a dog regularly visits their school through the school year.
  • Attending a benefit event in Bethel for those who lost their homes as a result of the fire on Greenwood Ave. over the summer.
  • Doing some general “out and about town” visits.
  • School starts on Monday, August 28th, so we’re busy setting Maggie’s school schedule for this year, which will include regular visits to Sandy Hook Elementary School, Reed Intermediate School, and Newtown High School.  Plus we’re working to fulfill the various requests we’ve received for weekend events in September.
  • We’re blessed to be able to share this ministry of presence through a well-trained golden dog.
