Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary

Date: Tuesday, May 12, 2026 (rain date May 13) Time: 7:00 – 8:30pm Location: CVH Animal Sanctuary, 8 Commerce Road, Newtown (Meet at Catherine’s Learning Barn) Expert: Ken Elkins, Sanctuary Director of Education Cost: $15 per person (Registration fees are non-refundable unless both event date and rain date are cancelled) Ages: 10 and up (must be accompanied by a registered adult) Limited to 20 participants
*For the safety and comfort for all, no pets are allowed.
Experience the sanctuary as day gently gives way to night during our Golden Hour Hike, a peaceful May evening walk timed with the soft glow of sunset and early twilight.
As the light fades, the landscape comes alive in subtle ways. We’ll slow our pace and tune our senses, listening for birds as they sing their final songs of the day, noticing the opening chorus of frogs and practicing birding by ear in the dimming light. Along the way, we’ll keep watch for moths, mammals, and other nocturnal creatures beginning to stir.
This guided hike invites curiosity and is the perfect opportunity to embrace stillness, sharpen your awareness, and discover the often-overlooked wonders that emerge during this quiet, in-between time of day. Our hike will take us through each of our habitats, with flat wide trails in the meadow, and more narrow, hilly, and wet trails near the Deep Brook.Register at <a href="https://wl.donorperfect.net/weblink/weblink.aspx?name=E172119&amp;id=246" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">wl.donorperfect.net/weblink/weblink.aspx?name=E172119&amp;id=246</a>

Newtown Senior Center

The Society of Creative Arts of Newtown (SCAN) will present&nbsp; Kathy Anderson demonstrating flowers in oil on Wednesday May 12th at 7:30 pm at The Newtown Senior Center, 8 Simpson Street, Newtown, CT. The demonstration is open to the public and admission is free.

Kathy Anderson is best known for her unique interpretation of flowers and gardens, and intimate scenes of landscape.&nbsp; Working in oils and painting mostly from life, her focus is on a strong design and movement in the painting, keeping the subject as naturally as you would find it. &nbsp; Her style is representational, but goes a step further into reality, often depicting weeds in the garden, flowers past their prime, etc. Kathy is included in many prestigious private collections, is a master signature member of Oil Painters of America, an artist member of the National Art Club and the Salmagundi Club NY and is in the permanent collection of both prestigious organizations.&nbsp; She teaches workshops in the US and abroad and has three popular videos.&nbsp;
She was lucky to be able to call as personal friends two of our greatest contemporary artists– Richard Schmid and Everett Raymond Kinstler, both sadly deceased.&nbsp; She has spent countless years with each of them, soaking up their wisdom and life stories.&nbsp; What I learned the most from these two masters was their high standards of excellence and the absolute joy of painting. “I see paintings everywhere- every flower, rock, tree, dapple of light, sparkling waterfall –there’s no end to subject matter for an artist when your eyes are always open.”

Kristen Stolfi, Real Estate Professional

I love my job and the people that I have the pleasure of helping with all their real estate needs! What my clients say: "We had an amazing experience with Kristen! She ensured that we got the house we loved, and took care of all the details. We had nothing to worry about, as Kristen was ahead of the game the entire way. She took great care of selling our property, while at the same, made sure the house we bought had everything we needed and a fair deal occurred. We will only use Kristen moving forward, as she is the absolute best!" "Kristen Stolfi is the hardest-working, most engaged, and most effective real estate agent I’ve ever encountered. She never let me down, rolling with the punches and staying steady at the helm. When something needed to be done, she got it done while remaining impeccably civil. Kristen maintains a high moral standard and can always be trusted to do the right thing." "Kristen is amazing at her job! She is on top of everything from start to finish! She went above and beyond what would be expected of any real estate professional! We are grateful we had her representing us in the sale of our home." "Kristen is on top of it, so helpful, willing to go out of her way for you. She even has gone on her own to take pictures of videos to share with me so I didn’t have to make the trip. She’s wonderful, caring, and really listens to what the buyer wants." "She was very professional and efficient answered all questions and if she didn't have an answer she would get it. Had our interest first which was also great."

St. Joseph High School

Where you go to high school matters. Make it count at St. Joseph High School. St. Joseph High School is a Catholic, coeducational, college preparatory school in Trumbull, Connecticut, dedicated to forming young men and women who are prepared to meet the challenges of the collegiate world and beyond. Our aspirational academics are intentionally designed to stretch students beyond curriculum to become problem solvers, critical thinkers, language aficionados, art lovers, and lifelong learners. More than typical college prep, SJ offers an experiential education that grows between the textbooks and classrooms; between students and faculty mentors; between the locker room and the field; and between faith, friendships, and family. As the largest co-ed Catholic high school in Connecticut, SJ gives students the opportunity to learn and connect across cultures, religions, and borders in a faith-based community that joyfully welcomes students of all beliefs. Students seek out their talents across academics, athletics, arts, clubs, and service; strive for greatness by expanding their boundaries; and serve the common good by embracing our motto, “With Privilege Comes Responsibility.” Our renowned athletic program builds community, character, and discipline while teaching life lessons that extend far beyond championship banners. Through service initiatives and spiritual formation, students deepen shared values, explore their faith, and uncover a sense of purpose that prepares them for lifelong self-direction. St. Joseph Cadets are on a mission: to be their best selves and to make their mark on the world. Learn more at sjcadets.org. Phone Number: 203-378-9378 ext 308 Email Address: admissions@sjcadets.org
