Hearts Of Hope Paint With A Purpose To Honor Alzheimer’s Association

Published: Nov 13, 2021 9:00 am

The Newtown chapter of Hearts of Hope (HOH-Newtown) will sponsor a Paint With a Purpose event on Wednesday, November 17, from 6 to 8 pm, at Newtown Community Center, 8 Simpson Street.

This month’s event will benefit the Alzheimer Association.

Cheryl Podob from the Fairfield County Alzheimer’s Association Connecticut chapter will be the special guest.

All participants paint small ceramic hearts with personal messages of support at a cost of $7 per heart. Typically, each month’s paint event highlights a particular organization which then receives the hearts.

In addition to painting, items to purchase will include the HoH 2022 commemorative hearts highlighting The Newtown Bee, pet-themed personalized hearts, necklaces, keychains, and more.

There will be no December Paint With a Purpose event, but prepackaged “onesies” are always available to order and paint with family and friends, perfect for the upcoming holiday gatherings.

For additional information or to register for this event contact HOH-Newtown Chapter President Pattie Ptak at newtown@ourheartsofhope.org or 203-828-8103.

Palm-size ceramic hearts are turned into unique works of art during each Hearts of Hope (HOH) Paint With A Purpose event. HOH-Newtown invites all ages to join them for their next event, which will honor the Alzheimer’s Association. —Ivy Pearson photo

LOL! You are neither silent or the majority! 80-120 taxpaying residents attended every public hearing on this over the course of a year, in person, as well as hundreds of emails and letters to the boards, commissions and to the media.....with 95%+ of them in opposition. Facts matter.

Castle Hill Public Hearing Ends, No Decision Made

To the members of the Borough of Newtown Zoning Commission, please realize your job is to review the application and vote on its merits and not be overwhelmed by a facebook mob. Just like on our national stage, the silent majority are with you. Don't be swayed by a vocal minority mob. Stay the course.

I think you're missing the broader point. Yes, statutes should be followed, but in this case it wouldn't have altered the decision that would have been made. And, yes, 8-30G is getting rammed down our throats. But with regard to this particular application, it is not yet an 8-30G. However, I'm willing to bet that if this nimby nonsense continues it most surely will become one. Better the devil you know than the devil you don't.

Concerned With Proper Procedure For Possible Water, Sewer Extension

As a former (25 year) Newtown Resident I to agree we need a return to civility. Politics has always been a lively topic and years ago there were many issues that incurred strong feelings. (Fairfield Hills, to buy or not to buy; what to do with it.) I have several good friends who disagreed with me on the most recent election and we just tacitly agreed not to discuss it. And life went on. I am not sure what you expect the Community Center to do. As long as no one threatens you with direct violence there is not much they can do. They cannot stop your neighbor's wife from spouting off. Unpopular and even abhorrent positions are part and parcel of our free speech. As the Appeals Court said, Nazi's can march in Illinois. (And they and the Klan have demonstrated here in Connecticut.

Misses Civility

Free speech is not to be feared but celebrated - even if you find the message offensive.
