Several days ago, a Black Lives Matter sign was vandalized — again — in Rowayton. Rowayton residents, led by Jane Seymour, created a GoFundMe campaign to restore the sign. Carver was designated to receive all donations that exceeded the cost of replacing the sign: $160. At the time of this post, that fund has raised $4,750.

Thank you, Rowayton friends! You are meeting the urgency of this time with appropriate heart and support. This is one step in the global fight against racism, but it is an important and vital step. Many Rowayton residents have formed long-standing relationships with the Carver community through the decades, and we are grateful. Thank you for serving as powerful supporters and allies through the years and especially now during this urgent time of renewed awareness and more importantly this time of real change and progress.
