For 10 years, during the holiday season , Target has teamed up with the United Way of Greater New Haven to "Share a Tree" to families in need in the New Haven region.  Through this program, Target of North Haven and Target of Orange each donated 2 of their decorated display Christmas trees to four families in need identified by local agencies, New Haven Home Recovery and New Haven Family Alliance. Overall, Target donated about 3,400 trees to families and non-profits across the country.

A message to the Boomers: 'Times They are a Changin' or Have They?

The 1960's, an era I wish I had been a part of...love, music, community, war, peace, the draft, drugs, race, gender, politics, family, industry. What an extraordinary time to be alive! My parents were married in the summer of ‘69 and did they have some stories to tell me! I, myself, am a part of GenerationX and I am proud to say to the Boomers, "you've taught your children well". You have taught us acceptance, tolerance, equality, freedom and most of all, the possibility of change. But how much have we changed? In efforts to create peace and equality, did we unintentionally create more problems?
