Trinity Church To Host Blessing Of The Animals

Published: Sep 26, 2020 08:00 AM

In honor of St Francis of Assisi, Trinity Episcopal Church will host a public Blessing of the Animals on Sunday, October 11, at noon.

All are invited to gather at 36 Main Street, near the gazebo to the east of the church building. There will be a brief service of prayer and song, after which the animals will be blessed.

Adults and children of all ages are welcome.

All animals should be on leashes or in carriers. For pets that are shy or not easily transported, guests can bring a photo or favorite toy in their place.

Volunteers will also be collecting donations of pet food for FAITH Food Pantry during the event.

Reservations are not needed. Additional information is available by contacting Kim Merrill at 203-426-9070 or kmerrill@trinitynewtownct.org.

Referendum Results: Split Decision

Snapshot: Chris Gardner

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
