Lions Hoping To See All Ages Participate In Lose The Litter Efforts

Published: Apr 15, 2023 8:00 am

Newtown Lions Club will conduct its annual Lose The Litter Day on Saturday, April 22.

The spring event is once again part of Newtown Earth Day Festival, returning to the front lawn of Newtown Middle School that same day.

The Lions will have a table set up at 11 Queen Street from 9 am until 1 pm; the festival continues until 4 pm. Festival admission is free.

The local Lions Club will provide garbage bags, gloves, and other supplies. Club members will also have a list of roads in town that need some spring cleaning. Suggestions will be available for any individual, couple, family, or group that wants to take on an assignment.

Requested roads will also be welcomed.

“This is a chance for all residents to take pride in their hometown and keep it beautiful,” according to Lions Club member Gordon Williams.

For additional information or an early road request contact Williams at 203-405-6392 or gmwllw@charter.net.

Cecarelli’s Harrison Hill Farm, Other CT Farms Call For Support At State And Federal Level

Oh, please! It is not just Republicans who are worried about potential fraud and undue influence in elections, and with good reason. A recent Rasmussen poll showed over 60% of likely voters felt fraud had influenced the 2020 election. Now why would they think that when Blue state election officials refuse to pare their rolls of thousands of ineligible voters, federal forms do not allow officials to check citizenship status and Republican poll watchers were not allowed to observe in Democrat cities like Detroit and Philadelphia. In addition, many municipalities have more registered voters than eligible citizens! Add that to Mark Zuckerberg donating 500 million to the 2020 election, 99% of it going to Democrat strongholds, 50 former Defense and Intelligence officials stating the Hunter laptop was Russian disinformation, plus Fulton County being sanctioned for incompetent running of the 2020 election. It is only logical to hold approval till after the election to see if the numbers add up. Democrats are already telling us that results will be delayed, wink, wink!

A Fundamental Threat To Democracy

Don I tend to agree with you. However since the "National Republican Party" in general supports some unpopular and unsupported opinions it would be nice to know where our 3 Hartford representatives stand on election integrity, abortion, climate and immigrants.

Claiming The Moral High Ground

Those commenting against the development fail to mention the positives. The "historic" road will be preserved and protected with 33 feet from the center and open to the public Currently its private property), 90 acres will be preserved for every, and 40 acres will be developed with city sewers and water, protection the entire property from 127 homes septic tanks. Is it the same as no development, no, but way better than 127 potential homes developed on the entire property. This is a fair deal from the town and the owner of the property. If the NCC were to win there would be no further development in Newtown, since almost all their arguments are no growth, no build.

Proposed Development Is The Antithesis Of Plan Of Conservation And Development

I agree. Well stated. Thank you for this.

Complicity Is The Moral Decline Of Local Republican Party

Thank you for saying what sadly, needed to be said. Shameful.
