Happy New Year to CT Democratic Women. Our latest newsletter can be read now on this website. Go to the sidebar and click onto January Newsletter under the Newsletter title. Our Winter/Spring schedule is there and information as to what we are doing to start the 2012 campaign season!

On December 3rd, members of CFDW were given a tour of the Governor’s Residence. As you can see in the pictures, our Governor’s home is beautiful! We had a great time roaming through the rooms and hearing the history of the home and how the recent renovations and decorations were done. No state money was used to pay for the renovations, it was all done through contributions and donations.

As we were leaving the residence, Governor Malloy arrived home, greeting us and recognizing many of his supporters.

At our October meeting held at State Central, we met with State Chair Nancy Dinardo and her staff member Moriah Moriaty to discuss State Central’s vision of developing a Women’s Caucus in CT. The concept is at the beginning stages and input is welcome by all. State Central would like to reach out to Democratic women and be a central place of political information for them. Other women who are helping with the Women’s Caucus would like to see this be a group to support getting women to run for office. The CFDW is already 400+ women strong and will work closely with State Central in partnering with the Women’s Caucus. Watch for further updates ~

As you can see, the tea was well attended. Many of the local East Hartford candidates for the upcoming election attended and spoke. Our CT DMV Commissioner Melody Curry spoke and helped to serve the tea, as a past president of the club. It was a lovely afternoon with fellow Democratic women!
