Lincoln Day Dinner

Check it Out!

Saturday, March 21st the 33rd Senatorial District held a Lincoln Day Dinner Event in celebration of Abraham Lincoln's 200th birthday! The scene was set at the Gelston House in East Haddam with over 120 guests! Kudos to the Gelston House for a fine job, the food was delicious and the staff was wonderful!

Our keynote speaker State Senator Sam Caligiuri spoke to the wisdom and integrity of Abraham Lincoln. He also happened to mention that he exploring challenging Senator Dodd.

Ken Gronbach, the Chairman of the Haddam Republican Town Committee and author of The Age Curve gave an entertaining and educational presentation about demographics and how we as a party need to strategize on how demographics will impact voters.

Connecticut GOP Chairman Chris Healy, always a good speaker, rallied the troops, challenging each and everyone of us to step up and to invite participation of fellow citizens to build the Republican Party and to elect more Republicans.

The planning for such a large event always requires the hardwork and dedicate of key people who make it all happen. Hats off to Beverly MacDonald and Sandy Downes from Portland and Melissa Ziobron from East Haddam. Terrific job!
