What Place Matters To You?

To the Editor:

The Newtown Woman’s Club, GWFC, has been presenting photos each month in The Newtown Bee since the beginning of the year of locations in town that are important. Each photo in the series, which has been called “This Place Matters,” has been accompanied by a brief history of the location photographed.

Now residents are being asked to choose their favorite This Place Matters location. The Newtown Bee, Fairfield Hills, Edmond Town Hall, C.H. Booth Library, The Matthew Curtiss House, Newtown Meeting House or The Flagpole. This is the last week to vote. Everyone is invited to select their favorite location(s) and vote, as many times as you would like, at $1 per vote, for their favorite location(s). Ballot boxes and voting envelopes have been set up at Everything Newtown (formerly The Drug Center), 61 Church Hill Road; The Newtown Bee office, at 5 Church Hill Road; C.H. Booth Library, 25 Main Street; Newtown Municipal Center, 3 Primrose Street; and Stop & Shop in Sand Hill Plaza, 228 South Main Street. Those who are unable to get to one of the voting locations and would like to participate can send a check payable to Newtown Woman’s Club GFWC, Inc, PO Box 101, Newtown CT 076470. Be sure to indicate your choice(s) on the memo line or attach a note if you are choosing more than one. Vote once, or as many times as you would like. Proceeds from the friendly will benefit Newtown Historical Society. The winning location will be recognized in October.

We are hoping that the employees in each of the locations will also join in on the friendly competition — let’s see where we collect the most envelopes from this final week of voting.

Sincerely,

Anna Wiedemann
