Local Quota Club Chapter

Installs New Board

BETHEL â Quota International of Candlewood Valley is a nonprofit service organization that has served the deaf and hearing impaired, and disadvantaged women and children in the greater Danbury area since 1978.

The local chapter recently held its installation dinner and awards ceremony at The Stony Hill Inn. The board of directors for 2011-12 is as follows: President Linda Bardelli of Brewster, N.Y.; Vice President Fran Denninger of Newtown: Treasurer Kris Beckman of Newtown; Corresponding Secretary Gloria Finnerty of Brookfield; and Recording Secretary Kara Kunst of Danbury.

Special recognition went to Louise Fornabaio of Brookfield, who was named Quota of Candlewood Valley 2010 Volunteer of the Year for her activities in the local community on behalf of Quota and the spirit of volunteerism so praised by Quota International.

Locally, the clubâs community service has included providing camperships for deaf children at Camp Isola Bella, donations to the Arthur C. Luf Burn Center Camp, donations of household items and clothing to Big Brothers and Big Sisters, and much more.

Quota International of Candlewood Valley meets the third Wednesday of each month at local restaurants. Social time begins at 5:30 pm, with dinner at 6. There is a $15 initiation fee for those who join, and annual dues of $90.

Some facts to consider. A total of 40,00 trips a day take place on Rt 25, The Castle Hill project will add less than 1%. Cluster homes are already an approved concept for the Borough, because it preserves open land and builds homes with sewer and public water. I'm Suggesting the Zoning Board should approve this because its a proposal that meets conservation goals and "checks" all the boxes.

A Development Must Be A Good Fit

Head on a swivel at all times - especially in grocery parking lots! Keep an eye out for folks turning at the flagpole - it befuddles them at times.

How do you propose tapping the brakes, Dave? 8-30g already trumps any local regulations- you don't have a brake pedal to push. Brookfield, Trumbull and now Ridgefield have a clear case for a moratorium based on the development (thanks to 8-30g) that has already occurred. I don't see a clear case for Newtown to request a moratorium... yet.

Backs Moratorium On Dense Development Applications

Nobody is suggesting shutting the doors on new neighbors. What neighboring towns are doing, and what we should be doing too, is to tap the brakes on all of the multi-family residential development proposals so that we can spend 6 months updating our regulations such that if you want to build dense residential housing here, XX percent of it needs to be affordable (we will never make any headway on increasing our percentage of affordable housing otherwise, short of 8-30g), and the rest needs to be done in as low an impact manner as possible. Low impact on traffic, health & safety, the environment and on the cost of town services.

Hey, there you go! Richard solved it. Thanks, that seems so easy- we'll just get rid of the 2nd amendment and the Supreme Court. Seriously, the 2nd amendment doesn't create violent criminals or mental illness. The Supreme Court doesn't create violent criminals or mental illness. The problem is not the tools, but the criminals & the mental illness. The state of Connecticut seems to be focused on the tools, like Richard, while ignoring the users of those tools.
