SATURDAY: GOV. MALLOY MAKES ANNOUNCEMENT ON FREE SUMMER MEALS FOR CHILDREN; ATTENDS OTHER EVENTS IN HARTFORD AND NEW HAVEN

(HARTFORD, CT) - On Saturday morning, Governor Dannel P. Malloy will greet visitors attending the open house at the Governor's Residence in Hartford. The event is part of the state's 10th annual Connecticut Open House Day.

In the afternoon, Governor Malloy will hold a news conference with Connecticut No Kid Hungry to launch the 2014 Summer Meals Program and promote the availability of free or reduced-priced lunches to children during the summer months. While Connecticut ranks fourth in the nation for number of children participating in the free summer meals programs, only 26 percent of low-income children in Connecticut who receive free or reduced-price lunches during the school year participated in summer meals programs last year. Also participating in the event will be Congresswoman Rose DeLauro and state Department of Education Commissioner Stefan Pryor.

Later, Governor Malloy will participate in the 2014 Governor's Arts Awards ceremony in New Haven. The annual event, coordinated by the Connecticut Office of the Arts, recognizes and honors artists, arts organizations, patrons and businesses for their dedication to arts and culture in Connecticut.
