Greater Newington Charitable Society made its first donation to Capitol Squash, which is an organization that fosters athletics and academics for 50 inner city Hartford children who participate year round.

Each student must apply and their families are interviewed. The students meet at Trinity College where they have squash practice for one hour followed by 45 minutes of homework and tutoring. "The Capitol Squash Program aligns nicely with GNCS' goal of helping youth," commented GNCS member Gary Toubman.
