Our meeting at the Colchester Club was held in the historic Cragin Memorial Library. The room was beautifully decorated with shamrocks and green decor for St. Patrick’s Day. The meal of corned beef and cabbage was delicious but the green desserts were the best!
Members from the Colchester, East Hartford, Hartford Progressive, and Groton Clubs attended. Our guest speaker was Linda Orange, State Representative for the Colchester area. She gave dismal news of the State budget and how the Governor is NOT responding to the needs of the citizens. It was very clear how important it is to elect a Democrat for Governor. We had discussion of the upcoming elections in November and that all incumbents will have a fight on their hands. We need to energize our base and make sure Democrats get out and vote. One member shared about the book: The Family by Jeff Sharlet. It is about C Street and the power they have with the Republican party. If you want to get “fired up” to get Democrats out to vote, read the book!
