Chairman's Message
|
Welcome Friends and Neighbors,
As the newly elected Chair of the East Granby Town Committee, my primary goal is to excite and motivate the Republican electorate to become more involved and engaged in party activities.
We have endorsed and support our own Vice Chair Tami Zawistowski for State Representative in the 61st District, which now includes all of East Granby as well as Suffield and the northwestern portion of Windsor.
I pledge myself and our party to serve the community and its citizens. With your help we can maintain East Granby among the best places to live in Connecticut. We owe it to ourselves, we owe it to our neighbors and we owe it to our children.
The Republican Town Committee generally meets on the third Wednesday of each month at the Senior Center/Community Center, beginning at 7:30PM (see calendar here). These meetings are a great way to stay informed on what is going on in our town, and all input is welcome, even if you're not a member of the Town Committee.
I hope to see you at a meeting in the near future!
Lee M Sandora
