Darien Library

The monthly blood pressure screenings from the Visiting Nurse & Hospice of Fairfield County is on a new day of the week! A nurse will visit Darien Library on the first Thursday of every month unless otherwise stated.

We were honored to host Ukrainian delegates Vadym Filashkin, Sergii Kalian, and Oleksii Vorobiov, for a firsthand conversation. They discussed leadership during war, community resilience, and the future of Ukraine.

This program was hosted in partnership with Ukraine Aid International and the Town of Darien. The event also featured U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal and Darien First Selectman Jon Zagrodzky as speakers.

Now is the time to make your plans!

Individual tickets are available, but space is limited—and individual ticket purchases do not guarantee that you will be seated with your friends or guests. If you’re planning to attend with a group and want to ensure you sit together, we strongly encourage you to reserve a full table or half table before those options are gone.
