Connecticut's Outstanding Teen Nicole Lynn Nemense Photo by Catherine Fiehn	Nicole Lynn Nemense is a bright, motivated, dedicated 15-year-old who is ready to tap her way into your hearts. And, she's got just about six weeks before she's on the national stage at Miss America's Outstanding Teen. "Dance -- A Path to Positive Self-Esteem," is the theme of her issue of concern. It's worked in her life, and she's introducing it to other girls. "Dance is really a freeing type of art form. You don't have to talk. You show your emotions through your movement," she said after she was crowned the 2011 Connecticut's Outstanding Teen. Nicole is a competitive dancer who says that after she's been working hard on something, and then nails it, she feels a self-confidence "that's unexplainable." She has presented her self-esteem/dance workshop "Let's Dance" to more than 250 girls between the ages of 4 and 15. In these workshops, she introduces the Miss Connecticut Scholarship Program and says how its helped her to become a better person. Her platform encourages girls to use dance as a building block for gaining that self-esteem. Nicole says that as a young girl, she was introverted and quiet, and dance has helped her tremendously to build her own self-esteem and reach for new goals. Now, her goal is doing her best at Miss America's Outstanding Teen, a national pageant in Orlando, Fla. in August. Nicole was first runner-up to Connecticut's Outstanding Teen Logan West in 2010. Nicole said she's used the last year "to grow and find out who I was as a person, a beautiful, confident young lady ready for the endeavors of Miss Connecticut's Outstanding Teen. It's going to be crazy but it's a ride I'm ready to go full force with and give it my all." Nicole is a rising sophomore at Watertown High School.

HISTORIC WALKING TOUR

Sponsored by the Rockville Downtown Association, Inc.

1 PM in front of RDA Office

Bob Hurd, architect and well-known local historian, will conduct a Walking Tour through historic Downtown Rockville as part of the “Rockville Fest” on Sept 24, 2011. He will bring the history of Rockville alive throughout the tour which will begin at 1 PM, in front of Vernon’s stately Victorian Town Hall. Please wear comfortable footwear and bring your cameras and a notepad. The Historic Walking Tour is sponsored by the Rockville Downtown Association, Inc, (RDA) a Main Street community.

The tour will focus on the Talcott Park Neighborhood just north of Town Hall in the area of Elm Street, Park Street, and one block of Prospect Street surrounding a small city park. The houses represent a variety of Victorian architectural styles ranging from early nineteenth century Greek Revival through the Gothic and Italianate styles down to the high Victorian eclecticism of the 1880's and 1890's. Here on narrow city lots adjacent to the downtown, the mill owners chose to build their stately homes. The neighborhood still retains a remnant of its late nineteenth century elegance.

Mr. Hurd, a resident of Rockville, has served as President of the Vernon Historical Society, Chairman of the Town of Vernon Historic Properties Commission and as a member of the RDA's Design Committee.

The houses which you listed are all covered on the tour.

Tri-Town Cruzers
to raise funds to support the
Matthew Gauruder Memorial Scholarship

The Tri-Town Cruzers have a long history of helping out in the community. Throughout the years, they have supported many good causes and encourage their members and guests to help wherever and whenever possible in giving back to their communities.

Throughout the 2010 cruise season, the Tri-Town Cruzers will be donating a portion of our proceeds to the following charities:

· Channel 3 Kids Camp

· Kid Safe

· Cornerstone Foundation - Shelter

· Protector of Animals

The Club leadership also gives an extra driver's ticket to driver's who donate an item of clothing for our Disabled Vets OR donating a canned food item for the food pantry.

The Rockville Fest is the largest annual special event the Tri-Town Cruzers are associated with and the proceeds from car owner donations and sponsors are designated to the Matthew Gauruder Memorial Scholarship.

Matthew Gauruder, a 17-year-old Rockville High School student was playing football at a post-prom party on a Westerly, Rhode Island, beach in 2001. Running backward to catch a pass, Gauruder fell into a hole dug by friends. As his stunned buddies tried to walk towards him, the hole caved in. He was revived briefly before later dying at a local hospital. His mother, Mavis Gauruder, said she grew up playing on New England beaches and never could have anticipated what happened to her son. The Gauruder family were members of the Tri-Town Cruzers at the time of the tragedy and their fellow members, decided to dedicate the proceeds from their participation at the Rockville Fest, toward the scholarship fund in Matthew’s memory.

The Tri-Town Cruzers thank fellow car owners, sponsors and spectators for their participation and fund-raising efforts at the Rockville Fest. It is with great honor that they are able to support the “Matthew Gauruder Memorial Scholarship Fund” which gives three, (3) $2,000 scholarships each year to graduating Rockville High School Seniors.

A Partnership between the Vernon Police Department and the volunteers of the greater Rockville community.
