One week before Jews around the world began their annual festival to celebrate the exodus of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, nearly 40 people gathered in The Great Room of Newtown Congregational Church for a Seder presented by Newtown Interfaith Council.
Following the successful launch of the Radical Connection Series on March 28, Part 2 will focus on an essential and often overlooked aspect of connection: Connection to Self.
"No Greater Love," a vibrant musical drama that celebrates the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, will be performed at St Rose Parish next Sunday evening.
The Newtown Interfaith Council has planned a Seder to celebrate the Jewish holiday Passover, and invites all readers of all faiths to come and learn more about the Jewish tradition.
Hey all! I know that we're always trying to be nicer in Newtown and all that but I thought you should know I'm 110% on board with "massive ticketing". If there isn't some error in the data and we're really seeing almost 100 violations in a week let's just bring the hammer down. You can "warm up" the driving public with a big fat ticket in the mail. Word will spread quickly! Why people in this state seem to need to apologize for enforcing the law is beyond my understanding.
While I was First Selectman, Town policy was to reserve the CodeRED system strictly for true emergencies. The most significant crisis during my term was the August 18, 2024 flood, which severely impacted homes, businesses, roads, bridges, and park infrastructure. That was a genuine emergency requiring mass notifications over a period of days.
For snowstorms or other weather events that did not wreak significant damage, I used the Town’s News & Announcements system to notify subscribers and supplemented those updates through social media.
It’s important that Town communication channels are used appropriately. CodeRED was intentionally reserved for the most serious events so residents would not become desensitized and begin to tune out critical alerts.
Jason, you're the best. It was the honor of a lifetime to serve alongside you. Thank you so much for kind words and for everything you've done for our country!
