In New Milford on Sunday afternoon, the Connecticut Community Foundation hosts "A Closer Look at Nonprofits Serving New Milford," from 3 to 5 p.m. at the New Milford Senior Center, 40 Main Street. Presenters include Senior Center director Carol Haglund, along with Wheels of New Milford and Literacy Volunteers on the Green, among others — a chance to hear, in one room, what the town's nonprofits actually do and where they need help.

On the football fields Friday night, the neighbors had plenty to talk about. New Milford High School beat Platt Technical High School 62–7\. New Fairfield High School beat Amistad High School 40–18 at home. Newtown High School beat Bunnell High School of Stratford 39–28\. Danbury High School lost to Darien High School 28–7.

Closer to home, Brookfield's own Friday ended in a 20–3 loss to Stratford High School — the Bobcats' full final stretch, with three games left, is in today's sports piece.
