We are an all-volunteer nonprofit group dedicated to helping the Newtown community address issues that affect the lives and well-being of seniors. Our organization was formed in the spirit of the “thousand points of light” movement suggested many years ago by President George H. W. Bush.
Message from the President, March 2024
With the close of 2023, FONS completes another productive and successful year of serving Newtown. Our monthly social events continue to attract a wide circle of Newtown residents and some out-of-town guests. We strive to broaden our scope of special activities and the reach of our service programs.
As we enter our ninth year of providing advocacy and support to our senior population, we hope you will join us in our efforts and help us communicate our message of empowerment.
We have established goals for 2024, and most critical of those are our support for physical and mental wellness in cooperation with the Newtown Health Alliance, and our transportation initiative in cooperation with the Commission On Aging, Newtown Human Services, and state and local officials. We look forward to seeing you at our events and hearing from you if you have concerns or suggestions.
Sincerely,
John S. Boccuzzi, Sr.
President
