Our annual event is called the “Welcome Party” because it is designed specifically to welcome new residents to the area and to welcome back our seasonal residents. The Party features a full dinner with wine and beer, live musicians, themed decorations and a small auction of amazing items. The Welcome Party not only raises funds for streetscapes and landscaping improvements in Milford, but it also introduces new residents to those of us who have been in civic activities for many years. This is an important part of the MEC’s mission: to strengthen the social bonds in our community which result in heightened civic engagement and volunteerism. Each year the Board is assisted by the event co-chairs, both long-time and newcomers, just like the people attending the event. That’s the magic of the Welcome Party, connecting those that have worked for decades to keep Milford as special as it is today with those that have recently moved here, attracted by our pristine natural environment, historic charm and cultural vitality. For many years, the annual Welcome Party has been the MEC’s largest fundraising activity of the year. While state and federal grants provide the bulk of the construction funding for the improvements we have undertaken, the design, engineering and estimating expenses are raised privately through your generous donations and participation in our fund raising events. Thank you! We look forward to seeing you at this year’s Welcome Party!
