Independents Formalize Party Structure

The Milford Independent Party is planning to create a more formal organizational structure, which leaders hope will put them on an equal playing field with Republicans and Democrats.

At a meeting Monday, the party will form a town committee, adopt bylaws, elect officers and attempt to recruit a full slate of candidates for state and local elections. Party members will meet at 7 p.m. at Stonebridge Restaurant on Daniel Street. The event is open to the public.

“The Independent Party platform is really simple,” organizer Rocco Frank said recently. “It’s about putting people first.”

Pop's Restaurant Feeds The Disadvantaged On Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving the poor and elderly have a place to go thanks to the generosity of Pop's Restaurant on New Haven Ave. in Milford.

Each year, on Thanksgiving day, Pop's serves 80-90 homeless and elderly people for free. This year they expect the same amount of attendees at their establishment. The kitchen opens from 12-3 P.M. and a holiday meal will be served to all needy walkins.

Pop's is the only establishment that I found helping the disadvantaged and the elderly in this way. The Milford Bethel center indicated that their service was one of a kind in Milford with no other known establishments helping the poor with a free onsite meal.

There are several other charities that exist, who will be delivering meals. The Boy Scouts also raised money to help people this holiday season.

Today's post is a heartfelt thanks to Independent party supporter, and community benefactor Pop's restaurant on New Haven Ave. for their kindness toward those in need this holiday season. Please show your support to Pop's for their generosity.
