In January 2007, we drilled and blasted in final preparation for the foundation work, with generous help from Vets Explosives, O & G Concrete, Inc., RC Victor Drilling and RCG Drilling & Blasting.  Thanks to Earthmovers for their generous assistance in the final excavation of earth prior to the actual foundation phase. 

In the last week of February, the footings were prepared and concrete arrived from a consortium of sources, to be poured under the expert eyes of O & G Concrete supervisors, with the assistance of propane heaters as dictated by the freezing weather.  This work continued through a chilly March and April and a big, wet nor'easter. With the foundation nearing completion at the end of April, waterproofing is being applied as we secure lumber and prepare to begin the framing. As you can imagine, we are anxious to bring you photographs of the first vertical boards going into place!

 
Paul P. Dinto, CEO of Paul Dinto Electrical Contractors, Inc., is Chairman of the Building Committee. Paul is coordinating the labor and management sectors of the construction and gathering statewide support for the project, with additional support from John Farnham, Executive Director of the Associated General Contractors of Connecticut. 
Contractors, labor leaders and the building committee gather to celebrate the groundbreaking on Saw Mill Road.

The Morganti Group, Inc. (Construction Management Division) is supervising construction planning and scheduling, which also represents a generous donation to the agency.  This diverse team concept represents a broad cross-section of the trades industry.

"Morganti/Wilder Fundraiser
              for the Hillsborough Education Foundation"

 

 

2006 Hooked on Education

Catch and Release Fishing Tournament

The Morganti Group & Wilder Architecture do more than just design and build beautiful buildings.  This spring, Jim Inman (Morganti Group) and Larry Wilder (Wilder Architecture) built the first annual "Hooked on Education" Fishing Tournament benefiting the Hillsborough Education Foundation into an impressive, sold-out tournament held on June 23rd at Bayside Marina.   Thanks to their efforts and the contributions of the many generous event sponsors, they were able to present HEF President Bill Hoffman and Superintendent MaryEllen Elia with a check for nearly $50,000 at the Captain's Crab Boil the night before the tournament.

 

Both companies have been long-standing partners of the Foundation, supporting many of our recognition programs and fundraisers.  Inman and Wilder took their support a step further when they took it upon themselves to put together this unique opportunity to increase support for the Foundation.  We are truly grateful for their vision, dedication and commitment to the teachers, students, and schools here in Hillsborough County. 

 

The tournament featured prizes offered three-deep in Redfish, Trout and Snook categories, plus a Grand Slam for most total inches.  Top honors in the Redfish category went to Jack Rossman from the Morganti team, who reeled in a 42" monster to take home the trophy.  Don Polanis and Mike Wise from PSI sure had a great day on the water, winning the Trout and Snook divisions respectively.  Kyle Inman from the Morganti team took home the Grand Slam trophy with a combined 77" of eligible fish.  In addition to Morganti and Wilder, other major sponsors for the event included Carroll Air Systems, Inc., Humana and McQuay Air Conditioning.  Special thanks to Wade Osborne of Afishionado Guide Services, Bayside Marina, Rick's on the River, Beef O'Brady's, Caspers Company, Pepin Distributing and Pepsi Bottling Group for their donations of time and products to help produce a first-class tournament. Finally, thanks to all of our sponsors, tournament committee members and volunteers in making the inaugural event such a success.  Plan to join us next year!
