The 2023 West Haven and Milford Restaurant Week has come to an end and it was a huge success!
We want to express our gratitude to all the foodies who came out and supported the participating restaurants. We hope you had a great time exploring new restaurants and revisiting your old favorites.
We would also like to extend our thanks to all the participating restaurants for making this event possible. Your dedication to providing delicious food and exceptional service is what makes this event so special.
Last but not least, we would like to thank our generous Presenting Sponsor, TrinityPoint Wealth, and our Supporting Sponsors, Hartford Healthcare Go Health Urgent Care, and DMBA for their partnership in making this year's Restaurant Week a huge success.
Last week, The Regional Chamber presented a symposium for non-profit directors, hosted at Total Mortgage Global Headquarters. The event provided an opportunity for attendees to discuss the issues affecting their organizations with a panel of distinguished experts. The panel included Thomas Bepko, Senior Vice President of Total Mortgage, Tara Meeker, Owner of North Star Design Studio, and Alisa White, Marketing Director of TrinityPoint Wealth.

Feel Good Vibes to Help Your Mental Health!
If you find yourself turning to music to boost your mood, or if solving a jigsaw puzzle, painting, or singing is one of your favorite ways to unwind, we have some good news for you. A recent poll conducted by the American Psychiatric Association confirms that those feel-good vibes are important for your mental health — while other sources suggest there may be some benefits to your physical health as well.
