Newtown Centre of Classical Ballet & Voice is ready to once again present 'The Nutcracker Suite' as part of the annual Holiday Festival supporting Newtown Youth and Family Services.
Newtown will again host three tree lighting celebrations this holiday season. Fundraisers are underway for two of them, offering the public a way to support the efforts.
The Connecticut Choral Society and Trinity Episcopal Church are adding something new to the afternoon offerings coming during the annual Newtown Holiday Festival.
By your own definition, wouldn't a boycott fall under the "protest" form of conflict resolution? Boycotts are peaceful protests that embody the freedom of expression codified in the First Amendment. Was Gandhi a bully when he instituted boycotts of British cloth and salt? The Republican victim mentality is getting exhausting.
I was there and silent in my position because of the mob mentality. The undertones and bullying group of the Facebook mob, even without their "leader," were sad and disappointing. I have silently voiced my support to individual members of the committee in the days following the meeting. I am just grateful that I didn't do it before the meeting, or the Facebook mob would have taken my photo and publicly shamed me for meeting out of caucus.
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.
