🍝 Cat Tales Pasta Dinner Fundraiser – Friday, September 26th!

Cat Tales invites you to join us for an evening of good food, fun, and friendship — all while supporting local cats in need! Our annual Pasta Dinner Fundraiser will be held on Friday, September 26 from 7PM to 9PM (doors open at 6PM) at the Elks Club, 44 Maynard Street, Middletown.

For just $30 per person, you’ll enjoy a full dinner featuring:

✔️ Pasta & meatballs
✔️ Fresh salad & bread
✔️ Dessert & coffee

🍷 Plus, wine, beer, and cocktails will be available at the cash bar.

The night will be filled with door prizes, raffles, and lots of fun! As a special thank-you, if you bring 2 rolls of paper towels or 3 cans of Friskies pâté canned food, you’ll receive a free ticket for the door prize drawing!

💳 How to Reserve Your Seat:

• Online: Visit CatTalesCT.org/pastadinner to pay securely.
• By Mail: Send your check to CAT TALES, PO Box 901, Middletown, CT 06457. Please write “PASTA DINNER” on the memo line and include the names of attendees and the number of seats you are purchasing.

👉 Seating is available through September 24. No tickets will be mailed or emailed — instead, your name will be added to our attendee list at the door.

This event is one of our biggest fundraisers of the year, and every seat sold helps us provide food, shelter, and medical care for homeless cats. Come enjoy a delicious meal, win great prizes, and make a difference in the lives of animals in our community.

ZOOM Genealogy Club - Saturday, September 27, 2025

 

Date:    Saturday, September 27, 2025

Time:    1:30 PM

Host:    Godfrey Memorial Library, Middletown, CT

Marian Burk Wood will present "Free Resources for New York Genealogical Research."

 

This is the first time we've welcomed Marian to Genealogy Club and we think you will enjoy her presentation. New York was often the first place New England families emigrated to, so there's a good chance you had an ancestor who lived there at one time.

 "Upstate, downstate, all around the Empire state, discover or rediscover free resources for investigating ancestors' lives and family history context. Step-by-step, learn how to navigate no-fee websites with many updated links to New York area digitized county histories, digitized vital records, oral histories, old photos and postcards, state census records, historic newspapers, county/local history experts, and much more."

Please register by 4:00 PM Friday, September 26. The invite will be sent out on that Friday.

Godfrey Premium members can register for free at the following email: zoomregistration@godfrey.org  If you are not a Godfrey Premium member and want to attend the presentation, you can pay $10 via PayPal (https://www.paypal.com/us/home) with the payment sent to Godfrey Memorial Library.
