Exchange Club Brews a Fund-Raiser Amy Wilmot and the North Stamford Exchange Club wanted to bring a new taste to fund-raising. The club's third annual Beer Exchange Sunday at the Italian Center does just that.

Staples Soccer Falls Short vs. Westhill The Staples' girls soccer team played defending Class LL champion Westhill to a draw for 70 minutes Wednesday at Loeffler Field.
