Rotary Supports Take a Vet Fishing

The Branford Rotary recently presented a check to Take a Vet Fishing (TAVF) for $1,200 to help continue its work with veterans. TAVF is the cornerstone program of the Veteran's Outreach Mission of the First Congregational Church Branford. It was established in 2007 and has taken almost 2,000 vets out of the hospital and shelters for a relaxing day of fishing. It has grown to become a year-round program and works with the West Haven VA, the Rocky Hill VA, and the Newington CT VA.
