NORWALK â The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society will be hosting a Light the Night Kick-Off Party on Wednesday, June 20, at The Loft, 97 Washington Street in South Norwalk, from 6 pm to 7:30 pm. Come to the party to find out how to participate in a local two-mile Light the Night fundraising walk commemorating and celebrating the lives touched by cancer.

The Fairfield County Chapter has two walks scheduled this year. The first walk will take place on Thursday, September 20, at Cove Island Park in Stamford. The second walk will be held on Friday, September 21, at Penfield Pavilion I in Fairfield. Registration for both walks will begin at 6 pm with walks kicking off at 7 pm. Event festivities will include a DJ, clowns, food, and refreshments. People of all ages are welcome to attend.

Participants may walk either as an individual or as part of a team. Teams can be formed by family members, companies, civic groups, religious groups, schools, clubs, etc. As a symbol of hope, walkers will be carrying balloons with flickering lights inside. Cancer supporters will carry red balloons, while cancer survivors will carry white balloons. Together they will light the night and brighten the future for millions touched by cancer.

To RSVP to the kickoff party on June 20 or for more information, contact Wendy Logan at 203-967-8326 or at loganw@ct-fai.leukemia-lymphoma.org.

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).
