Newtown Teen Competing on Jeopardy!

The community is invited to My Place tonight for a fundraiser to benefit Bishop's Fund for Children and to cheer on Jeff Haylon.

Editor's note: Sue Hendricks Vogelman shared this this exciting community news on the Newtown Patch Facebook page.

Newtown's very own Jeff Haylon will be on the Jeopardy! Teen Tournament airing nationwide this coming Monday (April 30) at 7pm. Friends and family are gathering with Jeff at for Dinner and to watch together on a big screen. All are welcome!

In conjunction with this event, the Haylon family is asking that friends join them in making free-will contributions to the Bishop’s Fund for Children. My Place has generously agreed to contribute 10% of the proceeds from meals we order on this night! We hope to add to that with your contributions and use this event to make a real difference in the lives of at-risk children in CT!

To help My Place plan for staffing and food preparation, please RSVP ASAP to rhaylon@charter.net to let us know if you will attend or might attend. Indicate how many people in your party will be coming. Plan to get there early and eat (or to stay after and eat) so that we can watch the show together!
