DeLuca and DeVito hope to make MILE a national model, and are writing a training manual to help. DeVito has talked to colleagues in other towns about the program. And state Rep. Richard Roy, D-119, has promised to distribute the organization's new newsletter to his fellow representatives and senators in Hartford. Anyone interested in getting involved is welcome to call DeVito at 876-8350. DeVito said members do not have to be on public assistance or a woman to join.
New mentors are also welcome.
