Manners matters, and the Working Womenâs Forumâs is bringing in a speaker this month to help members and guests enhance their social graces in the workplace. On Wednesday, February 13, Karen Wolf of New England School of Protocol, LLC, will discuss whether oneâs manners are helping or hurting professionally.Â

She will demonstrate how to use professional etiquette in making an entrance and working the room, introducing oneâs self and others with ease, making the right kind of eye contact and distinguishing oneâs self from the competition.

The program will be held at The Villa Restaurant, 4 Riverside Road, Sandy Hook, with networking beginning at 6 pm. Dinner and guest speaker program begins at 6:30. Call in reservations to 364-1667 or email: rsvp@workingwomensforum.net.

The program and dinner fee will be $25 for members and $35 for nonmembers. The Working Womenâs Forum is an organization that provides a forum for working women to meet and grow professionally and personally through education, networking and the sharing of ideas and experiences.

I am sorry but $88.8 million dollars to educate 4030 kids is way out of line! That's over $22k per kid, used to be $8k per kid, the kids aren't getting any smarter, the administration eats all the cost. Time to cut the budget by 20% and also cut the $225k salary of the superintendent and $193k of the superintendent assistant ! You can get a lot of teachers for $400k wasted for 2 overpaid positions. Common sense should tell you that spending $2.5 million per every week for population less than 30k people is just way too high! Also voting should be done by mail, enough with these nonsensical referendums where barely 16% of voters show up. 51% voters approval should be MANDATED!

Referendum Results: Split Decision

Encouraging. The town budget squeaks by but the school budget got dinged. Let the games begin.

Who have you asked that didn't know where to cut? Its easy. Ideally, you would start with section 100 of the budget but the union prevents that. So I say you turn to page 18, put it on your dart board, and start reducing the head count. It's all you can do when the union controls the budget.

Vote Yes On April 23

The people have spoken, time to sharpen your pencils. If we look at the town budget for guidance the BOE should cut the budget from 4.4% to 2.75% I find the voting results very interesting ... We have approximately 4,030 students in our town, with a published 12:1 ratio which means we have 335 teachers. I would love to know the actual number if someone knows. If we account for their spouses that gets us very close to the number of people who voted yes for the budget and wished it would be higher (729).
