Newtown First Selectman Pat Llodra has released the following request regarding Dec. 14 in her town:
“The community is choosing to remember and honor those who lost their lives in the Sandy Hook tragedy in ways that are quiet, personal, and respectful — centered on the themes of kindness, love and service to others.
“The municipality will not be hosting any town-wide events and ask that those persons who wish the Town well, and the media allow us the time to be alone and quiet with time for personal and communal reflection.”
