Community members are invited to attend a Volunteer Fair being planned for next month at C.H. Booth Library. Nonprofit organizations interested in participating are also invited to register.
The 50th Class Reunion for the Newtown High School Class of 1976 — when the school’s mascot was still the Indian — is scheduled for the Saturday night of Labor Day weekend.
Friends of Newtown Seniors will host its next Social — a monthly opportunity for local senior citizens to gather for dinner and conversation — on March 25.
Flagpole Photographers Camera Club will welcome March with an engaging series of programs and events designed to inspire, challenge, and connect photographers of all experience levels.
This month’s meeting of The Genealogy Club of Newtown will feature Juliann Mangin sharing her own genealogy journey and the book she wrote about her discoveries.
Seems like for all his education, Jim must slept through civics class when they were covering Federalism. Mitch holds state office, Michelle Ku serves in our municipal government, and the President, who is not on the ballot this cycle, heads the Executive Branch in Washington DC.
Also, Mitch was cross endorsed by the Independent Party in recognition of his bipartisan legislative success. Jim Gaston endorsed Ku’s opponent in the primary because “Newtown’s Democratic leaders trust Brandon Moore” (clever double entendre with his last name.)
Just the facts.
Jeff, look no further than our own first selectman. “Brews with Bruce” at the Senior Center is included with membership, but according to the Bee’s own reporting, everyone else must purchase a day pass to attend.
Apparently, paying taxes gets you a town government, but having a conversation with its leader requires an admission upgrade.
Unless, of course, the intent is to hear only from a preferred audience. A room full of agreeable voices may be comfortable, but a first selectman represents the entire town—including residents who might ask inconvenient questions. Public access should not come with a cover charge.
