Coffee With Mayor Weaver
The City of Darien hosts "Coffee with the Mayor" on the

the Mayor regarding any concerns, comments or questions
about City services. This is usually held at Darien City
Hall. However, Mayor Weaver would like to reach more
residents and provide them with convenient opportunities to
talk with her, so she will be alternating the usual location
in order to do so.
Please check the City Calendar
