October 23, 2022 Giuffrida Park, Meriden, CT

In October, WTS CT members and supporters experienced the beautiful fall foliage and vistas on Lamentation Moun- tain in Giuffrida Park in Me- riden while connecting with colleagues and enjoying the fresh air! The hike was about 3.5 miles long and was led by Jim Kulpa , VHB. Jim gave tons of tips on hiking and sa- fety to the group and shared things he’s learned over the years in his hiking trips and leading his son’s Boy Scout Group. We already can’t wait for next year’s hike!
