General Information

On Saturday, August 13th I had the opportunity to be on the stage with some pretty impressive speakers at the Grassroots East Campaign Workshop. For a just $10 – you got continental breakfast and a plethora of campaign information.

George Gallo, Sarah Clark, Pauline Kezer, and Mary Ann Turner – gave a cross training of campaigns, how to win, what it takes, and a sense of humor.

More than 100 people started the day and was worth the trip to Colchester on a beautiful Saturday.

I’m told – hand-outs of the presentations are going to be on the Grassroots East website (grassrootseast.org). I went and looked and the website isn’t updated – yet – but I’m sure they will get to it soon.

If you want information, please just e-mail me and I’ll be happy to get you copies of the slides and other available materials.

By now you know, Chris Healy will not run for chairman of state central in the upcoming election in June. There have been many people who have showed interest in pursuing the chairman role and we are very lucky to have such interest. I don’t know for sure if I have all of the listed below, so please forgive me if I missed anyone.

• Wilton Town Chairman, Al Alper
• Former State Senator, Bill Aniskovich
• Attorney, Justin Clark
• SCC, Doug Hagemam
• Vice Chairman, Catherine Marx
• Leadership Coach, Richard Olivastro
• Norwalk Town Chairman, Art Scialabba

There will be a Q/A on June 14 for State Central Committeeman (only) to hear from each of the candidates and ask questions.

I expect to have some information, if you are interested, just email me.

The vote for party chairman will take place on Tuesday June 21.

This video was shown at the convention in May and I thought then that it was terrific. We should continue to forward it to everyone, Republican RTC members, voters, friends, everyone for the last month of this critical campaign until it goes viral. Post it on our Facebook sites.

Too good to waste.

This will aggravate or energize you. Let me know which.
