To âSave A Life, Win For Lifeâ

FARMINGTON â The Connecticut Lottery Corporation, as part of its Community Outreach initiative, is joining with the American Red Cross, Connecticut Blood Services Region to ensure an adequate blood supply for the residents of Connecticut with the âSave a Life, Win for Lifeâ program.

At five Connecticut Lottery-sponsored community blood drives in April, all presenting blood donors age 18 or older will each receive a complimentary Connecuticut Lottery âWin for Lifeâ scratch ticket and other assorted promotional items provided by the lottery. Win for Life, one of the lotteryâs top selling games since it was first released nearly a decade ago, features a top prize of $5,000 a month for life (total minimum prize payout of $1 million) to the winner.

As an added bonus, each presenting blood donor age 21 or older will have the chance to enter to win a three-day Carnival Cruise for two to the Bahamas, also courtesy of the Connecticut Lottery. Drawings will be held once the last donor for each event day has registered.

The Connecticut Lottery Corporation is sponsoring a blood drive on Monday, April 19, at the Inn at Ethan Allen, 21 Lake Avenue Extension in Danbury, from noon to 4:45 pm. Other drives are scheduled for Meriden, Milford, Norwalk, and Enfield.

Anyone who is 17 or older, weighs 110 pounds or more and is in generally good health, is probably eligible to donate blood. Call 800-GIVE LIFE (800-448-3543) to make an appointment today for any upcoming community blood drive in Connecticut. Appointments may also be requested by visiting the website at www.bloodct.org. Positive ID is required to donate blood.

A Note Of Thanks For Garden Club Efforts

We all would like nothing to change, but look at how much this proposed property will add to the grand list. The eastern lot is currently assessed at $352,000 which brings in just under $10k in property value. I appreciate you taking note that the new houses will be $1,000,0000 EACH! This means the property, including club house, pickleball courts, skeet range, putting greens could be assessed at 117 million which would collectively bring in over $3,000,000 in tax revenue. This could also mean over 200 new luxury cars which brings in over $300k in additional revenue. Let's be honest though, they will register out of state. Either way, let's be honest here, if we had 3 MILLON more tax revenue the school wouldn't have to worry about canceling Spanish classes for kindergarteners. Lets get it passed!

Development Of Unprotected Land Could Permanently Change Character Of The Borough

Leave the 'Rich" alone. 50% of this country pay no taxes. And many get money back. The taxpayers on the 'Gold' coast here in CT keep Hartford and Bridgeport afloat. Run them out of town and see what happens.

Solve The Deficit & Debt Problem: Tax The Rich

There is a lot of waste still that can be eliminated - like school buildings that could be consolidated.

Yes, she did say that. Why would any bureaucrat publicly admit they made a mistake or recommended violating policy? Yet others, including board members, acknowledged naming the vendor for the routing services as All Star was "a mistake" and likely poisoned the well to other bidders (as was explicitly specifying the fuel type of the rolling stock.) While the members knew they did not get a competitive response to the RFP, they awarded the contract anyway... to the same vendor who got a no-bid contract in 2017. That means Newtown's ~$4.5M annual bus contract has not been put out to bid in 10 years, something to consider when asking why our PPE is so high.

Concerns With Adherence To School District Policies

They clearly didn't get the message ! CUT THE BUDGET by 20% , not raise it ! Newtown spends $2,500,000.00 every week now ! It will be $2.6m if you approve it ! Who are these people not paying attention to the cost of living? Throwing money at the school administration will not make your kids any smarter ! We are at $22K per kid per year, that is insane ! CUT THE BUDGET ! Go show up and VOTE, because 1200 people who voted yes will show up again, and it's the 1200 people who decide your cost of living for years to come. 51% voters turnout should be mandated to approve the budget, not pathetic 15% of voters. Stop these nonsensical referendums and send everyone a card in the mail so we have a true outcome what people actually want.
