Raising An Etched Glass To NYFC

Published: Jun 21, 2019 07:00 AM

Newtown Youth Football and Cheer (NYFC) held its Fourth Annual Beer, Wine, & Spirits Tasting Event at the Dana-Holcombe House on Saturday, June 8.

The evening was held to raise funds toward a goal of $12,000 for uniforms, field upkeep, equipment, scholarships for those in need, and coach safety training.

Brookfield High School students used a new etching machine to support the event by creating etched glasses that some guests used during the tastings. More than 180 glasses were specially etched with the NYFC 50th Anniversary logo.

New England Brewing Co, Back East Brewing Company, Nod Hill Brewery, Woodbury Brewing Company, Reverie Brewing Co, Litchfield Distillery, and Nick’s Chilled & Distilled served local favorites.

More information about NYFC is available at its website newtownyouthfootball.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!

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
