Local Killingly High School students teamed up with Putnam Plastics for the Eastern Advanced Manufacturing Alliance (EAMA)'s 2018 video competition. This year, the competition's theme was “Connecticut Manufacturing: A Day in the Life”. This video series highlights Eastern Connecticut companies’ new & advanced manufacturing technologies, trends & processes. The goal is to “engage and excite high school students about the opportunities available in local manufacturing companies.” A total of 13 teams from 12 schools are participating in this year’s competition.
During our annual holiday raffle, we raised over $1,200, along with boxes upon boxes of canned goods, and hats & gloves! All proceeds will be donated to our local food pantry, the American Heart Association in memory of Putnam Plastics' employee Bob Danna who lost his life recently to a heart attack, and to help cover funeral expenses for Putnam employee, Anthony Laurenzo's son, Dylan who recently passed. Thank you to everyone that participated- we’re grateful to have raised funds for these great people and causes!
