Town Offers Support Center in Wake of Boston Tragedy

The following is a release from town health director Donna Culbert.

"In response to the tragic events in Boston Monday, the Town is providing a space for the Newtown community to have the opportunity to gather for support, guidance, or simply to be with one another.  As we continue to navigate through our own response to the tragic events in Newtown, the events in Boston are unsettling and will impact each of us differently. Cyrenius Booth Library will be a location for community members to gather should you so desire, and we will work diligently to make resources and support available to suit your needs. 

"Please, utilize and reach out to those mechanisms of support that you find soothing and helpful: family, friends, faith based organizations, neighbors, counselors, exercise, art, work.  Please turn off or limit your exposure to the news coverage. Most importantly, don't be alone and be with one another."
