In an effort to learn more about what issues are on the minds of Newtown residents, and to share the personal goals and ideas of those running for Democraft positions in the local elections, Newtown's Democratic Town Committee (DTC) is hosting a pair of events this week.

On Thursday, October 22, from 7 to 9 pm, a Democratic Candidate Meet & Greet will take place at DTC Headquarters, 6 Queen Street (Queen Street Shopping Center).

Then on Monday, October 26, from 6:30 to 8 pm, a Meet & Greet with Board of Education candidates John Vouros and Rebekah Harriman-Stites will be held at The Dana-Holcombe House, 29 Main Street.
