Serving the Community The 57th annual Newtown Labor Day Parade Honorary Grand Marshal is Eunice Laverty. A longtime owner of Bagel Delight, Ms. Laverty is known to many as a pleasant, kind, caring, wel- coming, “Gem of a Woman” and so much more. A retired Social Worker, Eunice has been operating Bagel Delight for 22 years and is a supporter of multiple organizations and town events. Selfless and giving from her heart, she is a humble woman to anyone with whom she comes in contact. Aligning with Ms. Laverty’s commitment to Newtown, our theme for this years Pa- rade will be “Serving the Community.” It is a fitting tribute to Ms. Laverty’s hard work and dedication. (Just ask the kids at the Newtown Middle School). Parade Line-UpESCORT DIVISION 1 Please stand and salute the American Flag ANY time it passes during the parade!Former Ambulance Garage1.
