HARTFORD, CT -- Hurricane Harvey disaster relief efforts continue in Texas and Louisiana as preparations are underway in Florida in anticipation of Hurricane Irma.
Our condolences to those who have lost loved ones and our appreciation to the relief workers who are assisting residents in the affected areas.
Thank you also to those who have made a financial contribution.
