The Bristol Housing Authority Newsletter August 2019

Hi everyone, I don’t know about you, but “I’m feeling the heat,” and the humidity makes it almost unbearable at times. You might want to keep hy-drating by drinking lots of liquids;

otherwise, dehydration could happen very quickly. A good way of getting out of the heat is to take the transit and go to the Mall and do some storefront shopping in the air-conditioned facility. Also, it is a great way to exercise. I want to thank all involved with the many improvements that are going on at our properties. Job well done! It is also the goal of the Bristol Housing Authority to make the tenants feel safe and secure at all our properties.

Let’s all continue to try to spend more time enjoying this weather while it lasts and may you all have a wonderful summer with your family and friends. Please do not hesitate to contact me with your comments or suggestions. You can reach me at [email protected]. You may also send correspondence to David Godin, Bristol Housing Authority, 164 Jerome Ave., Bristol, Connecticut 06010.
