On June 7, The Family Connections program in the Bridgeport Division hosted a dinner to celebrate the conclusion of the Computer Pilot Project. Ten families from the Family Connections program have participated in the project since its implementation in June of 2003. Throughout the last two years The families have successfully completed a series of general computing classes and the Casey Computer College weekend, which took place at the UCONN campus in Storrs, CT.

Each of them congratulated the participants on their hard work and dedication to the project in their speeches.

At the end of the evening each family member received a certificate/diploma to formally acknowledge their success in the completion of the Computer Pilot Project and the celebration was topped off with a slide show presentation, compliments of Juliette LeCornec, which highlighted every key moment of the Computer Pilot project through out the last two years.
