Vista Members Spread the Word to End ‘the Word’
Vista Life Innovations members Andrew Hart and Amelia Rogers recently raised awareness for the Spread the Word to End the Word campaign, a national movement to eliminate usage of the R-word, in Westbrook and North Haven.
Equipped with clipboards, pens, and Spread the Word to End the Word bracelets, Hart and Rogers visited the Teresa Mulvey Municipal Center in Westbrook on March 2 and gathered signatures from people who pledged to stop using the R-word. Among those who signed the pledge was First Selectman Noel Bishop. Hart and Rogers continued their efforts at the North Haven Health and Racquet Club. By the end of the night, a total of 136 people had signed the pledge.
