This year marks an exciting milestone for the Stonington Community Center (COMO) as we celebrate 80 years of supporting and strengthening our community. To honor this achievement, we are hosting Stars Over Stonington: 80 Years and Still Shining, bringing together community leaders, partners, and supporters for a night of celebration and recognition.

 
 

As part of the evening's festivities, we are proud to honor Lisa Konicki and the Ocean Community Chamber of Commerce, which is also celebrating a remarkable 100 years of service to local businesses.
