I would like to take this opportunity to invite the public to participate in the Norwalk Historical Society’s Gingerbread House Workshop for the entire family on Saturday, December 8.
Wyatt Whiteman of Fairfield, who participated in the recent Colonial Harvest Festival at Mill Hill, and who is a practitioner of historic foodways and food preservation techniques, will lead the workshop. Participants will be able to create their own special gingerbread house to add to their holiday decorations. The house will be constructed of pre-baked gingerbread (not from a kit) and then decorated with icing and a wide range of candies and nuts.
Children aged 7 and above are encouraged to participate and build their candy land dream home, but attendees need not be a child to enjoy building their own gingerbread house! Children aged 7 – 10 will need an adult to assist them with their project, and all children must be accompanied by an adult.
The event will be held at Mill Hill Historic Park, 2 East Wall Street (at the corner of East Avenue). The cost per house constructed is $40 for Norwalk Historical Society Members and $45 per house for non-members. To see examples of houses that have been built, please visit the Events page of the NHS website at www.norwalkhistoricalsociety.org/NHSEventsExhibits.html.
For more information or to register, please call the Norwalk Historical Society at 203-846-0525 or send an email to info@norwalkhistoricalsociety.org. Please indicate the session you would like to attend – either from 9:00am-12:00pm or 1:00pm-4:00pm – how many houses you will be building, your name and phone number, and whether or not you are a member of NHS.
Space is limited and registration must be received by December 1, 2007, so call or email us today! All proceeds from the event will be used to fund the programs of the Norwalk Historical Society.

Letters To The Editor
Thursday, November 29, 2007
To the editor:It’s holiday time again, and while we are shopping for the biggest and best presents, our servicemen and service women are fighting a war to protect our freedom. Once again, in conjunction with Adopt-A-Platoon, I will be packing supplies for our troops.
I made a small, 30-carton shipment in September. The next shipment will be the second week of December with the help of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Frank C. Godfrey Post, American Legion.
I have shipped part of what we have collected for the troops, and have been collecting additional items throughout the past several months. But due to the high costs of shipping, I have been unable to send the entire collection. The Ladies Auxiliary has generously offered to help make this shipment a reality.
The unit we will be sending to has local ties; donations will be greatly appreciated by close to 3,000 men and women of the 3rd Infantry Division, based at Fort Stewart, Savanna, Ga., and currently serving in Iraq. Those who would like to make a monetary donation or a donation of one or more of the items listed at www.webspawner.com/users/asoldierswishlist/index.html, should stop by the American Legion - at 60 County St. in Norwalk - before Dec. 2.
Cash donations are welcome to offset shipping costs.
Letters and cards are important. I ask residents to have their children write letters thanking our service personnel so that they know that they are appreciated. It doesn’t hurt to write more than one, as they will be given out randomly. Writers may include their names and addresses. That would give our soldiers a chance to write to someone back home if they can.
I thank supporters in advance.

Hey Turf, you still have all those websites posted of candidates in the election. Looks like Romano has moved on to new things. I clicked on her link and she has turned her website into a shopping mall. Good idea, now I don’t have to go out to shop. You might want to put up the websites or e-mails of those elected so we can reach them when needed.
-
Nothing wrong with that at least she doesn’t sit back and feel sorry for herself. That sight has some good places to shop. I hate malls and christmas shopping so I guess i’ll check out some of those on the site and get everything delivered.

What a bunch of junk! Turffie should remove immediately. -
#10-whats your problem? I looked at the site and there are some very good stores. So what’s the big deal? I agree the links for the candidate websites should be taken down though and replaced with contact info and e-mail addresses of elected officials. I wouldn’t call Jos.A Bank or Hanes or Alle’ junk stores so whatever you mean is just rediculous.
-
I wonder what the deal is? Does Joanne get a percentage of whatever anyone buys through the site? I know that some non-profits work that way. I can’t believe that someone would commericalize their webpage for no return…makes no sense. It’s not like those are sites that are linked to her causes…
-
Its not a political website. It is a personal domaine and it is a shopping place. when you have a personal domaine you can use your site for whatever you like within the guidlines of the hosting site. Obviously she must get commissions and pay taxes on what people buy which is a great home business or side business. Many people do this on the internet as a second income. But, I agree, unless turf wants to put it in a different spot it shouldn’t be with the elected officials.
-
Boy I haven’t been to this site in a while but happened to hear that my name was popping up again so thought I’d check it out. Just so you know, I own that domain joannetromano.com so I am able to use it for personal or business information. Since I am no longer an elected official I didn’t see any reason to keep up a political website so instead I decided to start an online shopping site for peope like me who hate to go to the mall or department stores and hate to sit in traffic. Now, since I see someone has a problem (#10) I have written Turf and asked her to remove my link from this blog. Wouldn’t want anyone to be upset now. Happy Holidays All
-
Hay, no matter what you do someone is going to make stupid comments so why bother responding? By the way, nice website. Good Luck with it. If turf chooses to take down the link, she should also take down the candidates links since 3 of them didn’t get elec ted anyway.
-
Awww, well, atleast I got the site bookmarked Joanne. Still love ya!
I’m hoping to have some people get some items over for the troops soon. Hope were able to send them a good amount for the holidays!
-
Ok, I saw a posting for a shopping website and was all ready to come on today to do some shopping and now its gone. Anyone know where it went? After reading the comments above, I have to wonder why anyone would complain about a shopping site when many of us would rather not hit the malls or sit in traffic. Has everyone gotten so anti everything that they would actually ask for a site to be removed? I thought this was a site where everyone was welcome. I guess not! Bahhhhh Humbug! Hey turf, do you have that link or who can I get it from?

Hey#12-she’s not commercializing her website. Its a shopping mall and a good one at that. Its an affiliate site where she makes a commission on what anyone buys. Its a work at home program that anyone who knows how to build a website can do. You just have to join all those stores as an affiliate. I looked it up online and that can be a very lucrative business especially with the stores she has. If I were her I’d advertize as much as possible.

To posting #12 I simply asked if we could have a thread to post on for the coming holiday. The owner of this site with no hesitation had it up before a refresh command could be used on this site. Well not maybe that fast but you get the idea.
I have always been supportive of all the private organizations in the city dedicated assisting all the residents.Enough said a rant you won’t get today.
community news on a media so many people are plugged into. thank you again Turfggrl, this thread among many others has helped others here in the city.
my editor has told me keep it short
