LEADERSHIP GATHERING -- West Hartford Mayor Scott Slifka, pictured with Bridge Community Services Director Judy Bierly, is a regular at the annual breakfast.

 21st Annual 'Breakfast on the Bridge'

BUILD NO FENCES AWARD -- West Hartford Police Chief James J. Strillacci, flanked by Bridge Community Services Director Judy Bierly and Executive Director Margaret Hann above, was recognized for his leadership and collaborative efforts to safeguard children.

The Bridge Family Center held its 21st annual Breakfast On The Bridge September 19, 2007 for 140 school and social service professionals and other community leaders from West Hartford and the surrounding region.  The breakfast is an opportunity for individuals who work with youth and families to network and share services.  It is a spirited kick-off to a new year of collaboration. 

The breakfast is also the venue for presenting the annual Build No Fences Award, given to an individual who provides support for young people and families and “who tears down turf issues in town and recognizes that there is enough work here for all of us.”  One individual was honored this year: Chief James J. Strillacci, chief of the West Hartford Police Department.  Chief Strillacci was recognized for his leadership and collaboration with The Bridge, the state legislature, town government, the schools and many other arms of the town to keep our children safe.
