SANDWICH, MASS. â The Cape Cod Glass Club will end a successful eighth season with a luncheon meeting on Tuesday, June 3, at noon, at the Danâl Webster Inn on Main Street. There will be a cash bar for drinks, and lunch will be served at 12:30.

The annual business meeting will follow the luncheon, as well as an informal auction of members and guestsâ glass objects and books about glass that need a new home. Cards will be provided on which to write a short story, funny or otherwise, on how or why these canât-live-without treasures were acquired.

Once again the club is looking forward to participating in the Sandwich Glass Museumâs Cape Cod Glass Show and Sale to be September 20â21. This is the second year for the show in the Skylight Room of the Corpus Christi Church in Sandwich.

Show dealers and visitors were impressed with the new venue, where this year more space will be available than last. Members volunteer to staff ticket tables, help dealers set up and pack out, and serve as booth sitters for dealers who require a break.

The Cape Cod Glass Club, founded in 2000, is a nonprofit chapter of the National American Glass Club dedicated to the study and appreciation of glass regardless of the type or period, with emphasis on American glass. The Cape Cod chapter meets monthly from October to December and from March to June. Activities include formal lectures, informal study sessions, and visits to museums and working glassmakers. The clubâs ninth season will begin on Tuesday, October 7.

The club is open to new members. Membership is not limited to Cape Cod residents. For further information, contact membership chair Dorothy Schatz at 508-428-2141, or program chair Betsy Hewlett at 508-362-6875.

Casting Change Announced For Town Players Production Of ‘Moon Over Buffalo’

There are many considerations as it relates to the development of the Castle Hill property as noted. I am supportive of the proposal and to approval process as it is sensitive to concerns being raised. The proposal provides another housing and lifestyle option for long time residents and newcomers with great accessibility to town. The developer is a long time resident with a solid reputation and the best interest of town at heart. It is not wise to make gross assumptions but I would think it would be a net positive (will attract empty nesters) to the tax base versus incremental town costs required. Net positive tax base growth supports continued investment in our great school system. Working in partnership with historical groups, bike and trails, the borough and others could actually add another great part of our amazing town.

Proposed Castle Hill Development Is Wrong For Newtown

EDITOR'S NOTE: We do not publish everything that goes into print on our website. We never have. It's a longstanding policy that our print subscribers benefit by being able to read every feature, article, press release, etc, and see every advertisement, thanks to their paid subscriptions. Many stories are posted a few days after each print edition is published but some are never shared online. The Board of Education vacancy created by a resignation on February 20, which was filled on March 19, was covered in the March 22, 2024 print edition. Sorry you missed those stories.

Unhappy With Meeting Coverage

I am on the Newtown Bike and Trail Committee and we have been promoting and maintaining this trail for years. It literally goes through the middle of 20/60 Castle Hill Rd., and was added to the register of historic places around 2003: https://npgallery.nps.gov/AssetDetail/NRIS/02001679 . That said, I think nearby development and trail preservation could be compatible, depending on the plan.

Its not just this meeting - its pretty much all town meetings. When was the last time you saw an article on the Bee's website regarding P&Z or BOE? Did you know that a BOE member resigned in January and a new one was appointed? These used to be featured articles on the Bee website after they went into the print edition. Unfortunately, things have changed a lot at the Bee since Mr. Voket left.

I have lived in Newtown for over 60 years and this is the first I have ever heard of the Rochambeau Trail. When I checked with the National Park Service and our state only Nationally Historic Site the official records of the Rochambeau Trail administrated by NPS does not travel through this property. If you are arguing it is "Near" the trail then where was the outrage when Big Y was built? The new development on 6 and 25 or even the Starbucks.
