South ward councilman Louis Quattrocchi did the honors of presenting the check a representative of Ivin’s Hours, where the the federal grant for Bristol’s 21st Century Learning Programs are coordinated from.

At the he July meeting vice-president of council Betty Rodriguez (west ward) presented a check for $10,000 on behalf of council to the Bristol Riverside Theater General Manager David Abers.
