COMMUNITY

2022 Avalonia Donation

Girard Nissan is proud to announce that we have made a donation to Avalonia Land Conservancy! Avalonia conserves over 4000 acres of land, preserved in perpetuity, for the community to enjoy. We are so grateful for everything they’ve done for southeastern Connecticut and we can’t wait to see what’s next!

Steam Sanitizing Vehicles

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Girard Nissan wanted to help out the community by performing a complimentary steam sanitizing to everyone’s vehicle. This process helped kill bacteria, eliminate odors, and reduced allergens. And as a thank you to those keeping us safe, we performed this steam sanitizing on the Town of Groton and City of Groton’s police cruisers.

Military Community Support Award

At the 10th Annual Military Appreciation Breakfast Chris Antonino (far left) accepted the Military Community Support Award (large business category) for the Antonino Auto Group.

“We spent this morning saying a much-deserved 'thank you' to our local military service members at our 10th Annual Military Appreciation Breakfast. Through the support of our sponsors, General Dynamics Electric Boat, Dunkin', and Foxwoods, we invited over 140 active duty members as our special guests. Eastern Connecticut and our entire country are made stronger by the bravery and sacrifice of these men and women and their families. We also presented the Military Community Support Awards to Antonino Auto Group (large business category) and Cardinal Honda (small business category).”- The Chamber of Commerce of Eastern Connecticut
