CHALLENGES OF NEWTOWN HOUSING DISCUSSION TUESDAY, APRIL 28TH
Friends Of Newtown Seniors (FONS), the Commission on Aging and the Newtown Department of Human Services have united to form the Newtown Senior Alliance, to develop and host a new series of programs focused on issues that matter most to older adults.
The series will officially kick off with a Roundtable Discussion – Challenges of Newtown Housing – on Tuesday, April 28, at 5 pm at the Newtown Senior Center. The event is free but registration is required via this link.
Please complete a brief survey on housing needs via the link below, even if you will not be attending the Roundtable.
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 2026
Looking back on 2025, I am happy to report that it was another very busy and productive year for FONS, thanks to the efforts of our Board of Directors, whom I would like to recognize in my annual letter.
FONS is extremely fortunate to have a Board of Directors comprised of individuals with diverse backgrounds, experience, talents, and strengths.
Due to the dedication, commitment, and continuous efforts of our Board, FONS has been able to continue its mission of providing advocacy and services to our
Newtown senior population. Our 2025 accomplishments speak for themselves.
I thank the entire Board for their service this year and look forward to working with them in 2026.
FONS was born on May 10, 2016, when a group of individuals met to focus on two important ideas:
First, that more could be done for, and by, the growing senior population. And second, that the needs of seniors could best be met by working collaboratively with other organizations, and by being creative about filling the gaps.
As we approach our 10-year anniversary in 2026, I look at how far we’ve come and wonder how far we can go.
Sincerely,
John S. Boccuzzi, Sr.
President
