S.H.E.S. Benefit

We will host a series of fund raisers at the Inn at Newtown to help raise money for the families for whatever they may need in the weeks, months and year ahead.  

The initial event will be hosted by both the Inn at Newtown, and The Cookhouse, New Milford. Rob Ryder owns both locations, is a resident, and the father of children attending public elementary schools in Newtown. The event will be held on Thursday December 27th; starting at eleven thirty in the morning and continue through nine thirty at night.  The Inn at Newtown and The Cookhouse, New Milford will donate 100% of the profits from sales that day to the families of the tragedy.  All profits will be sent to Rotary International to be distributed to the families, and first responders.

In addition to hosting the event, the staff from The Inn at Newtown will be donating their tips on the 27th as well.  Newtown Nighthawks Football Team will be selling t-shirts, wrist bands, etc. to increase the amount of money we can donate to the families.
