WOODBURY â On Saturday, May 20, and Sunday, May 21, the Woodbury Gallery Group will sponsor âGood Health & Great Art Weekend,â a fundraising event to benefit The Harold Leever Regional Cancer Center.

On Saturday from noon to 5 pm, a gallery walk and silent auction will be held along Woodburyâs âgallery mileâ on Main Street South. Each gallery group member has donated one fine art piece to the auction.

Participants are invited to visit each gallery throughout the afternoon to view the donated item at each location and to place silent auction bids. Bidding will close promptly at 5 pm.

âGallery Mileâ maps will be available at each participating gallery. Members include Good News CafÃ© & Gallery, Fine Line Art Gallery, P.H. Miller Studio & Gallery, Woodbury Antiques & Fine Art, Put it Together, Fenn Gallery of Contemporary Art, David Brooker Fine Art, and Jordan Delhaise Gallery.

On Sunday from 2:30 to 4 pm, Mattatuck Museum Curator Anne Smith will speak about âFine Art Collecting,â at The Harold Leever Regional Cancer Center, 1075 Chase Parkway in Waterbury.

The lecture will be followed by a reception, where the auction winners will be announced. Lecture tickets are $25; call 263-3939, or visit any participating gallery. Advance reservations are recommended.

All proceeds from the silent auction and lecture will go directly to the Leever Center.

The Woodbury Gallery Group is a cooperative effort between eight Woodbury art galleries.

Referendum At Midpoint: 5% Turnout Reported

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!

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).

Beth sorry for your loss Scott always talked about how much you loved your mom ❤️ Prayers for you and your family Gauvin Family
