It’s hard to believe 2015 has finally arrived – I hope you and your families enjoyed the holidays and
are now settling into your new year. The past several months have been very active for the West End
Association (WEA), and that high level of activity has carried forward with a variety of events and
collaborative programs being planned.
On Saturday, January 24th, WEA will host its first Health and Wellness Expo, held at the new
Bristol Boys and Girls Club on West Street, from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. Many local healthcare
providers and health benefit organizations will participate in this event, which will include free
screenings for blood pressure, cholesterol, dental, vision and body mass index, as well as yoga and
massage demonstrations. We’ll have mascots from local sports teams and a variety of special guests
to answer healthcare-related questions. Our goal is to make sure West End residents have easy access
to healthcare education, screenings and local wellness resources that can benefit them and their
families immediately and throughout the year.

Our Taste of Bristol tickets are already on sale. This is our primary annual fundraiser, and at $5
each a great bargain . . . it saves you and your family 20 percent off the check at more than 30 local
restaurants during March. The more you eat out, the more you save, and everyone who purchases a
ticket is entered in a raffle, as well, with dozens of gift certificates to be awarded.
We’re still glowing from our successes of 2014, especially our Rockwell Park Summer Festival in
August, which attracted 10,000 visitors, and our Fall Social at Indian Rock, which raised funds for
Indian Rock and for a new WEA program to help local veterans with home repairs. Additionally, our
community garden was well received this summer and fall, with many vegetables donated to local food
banks, and we installed and will be maintaining new planters at the intersection of Routes 72 and 69.
Congratulations to the Bristol Boys and Girls Club following their move into beautiful new
facilities on West Street, and to Oak Hill’s Chapter 126, Sports and Fitness, which opened its
new rehabilitation and sports center on Upson Street. And finally, we welcome the Bristol Blues,
the newest expansion team in the Futures Collegiate Baseball League, which will call the newly
renovated Muzzy Field its home, with games beginning in June.
We continue to meet every second Wednesday of the month at 7:00 p.m. Our meetings are open
to members and non-members alike, and we encourage you to attend, join, hear what’s going on in
our City and have a voice in your community. Please visit our Facebook page and website, as well,
to stay informed as the year progresses.
Finally, thanks to the many sponsors who helped pay for this newsletter, which we publish twice a
year. As always, I welcome your thoughts and comments. Please write me at westendbristol@gmail.
com, and note that five people who respond with feedback or suggestions will receive a free West

Veteran Home Repair Project
A new fund established by The West End Association will be used to help a Bristol active-duty
military person, his or her family, and/or a Bristol veteran repair a portion of his or her home. Money
will be donated by The West End Association for all or a part of the repair for projects including – but
not limited to – roof, deck and porch repairs, and window and siding repair or replacement. Funding
for this project was established at the recent West End Association Fall Social, and this will become
an annual fundraising activity.
If you or someone you know is interested in receiving the benefit of this work – or would like to contribute funds,
materials or labor – please contact Jesse Jablon at 860-620-2771 or Dave Hamelin at 860-583-3292. Recipients
will be identified through collaboration with local veteran’s organizations and a selection/review process that is
now being determined.
