The Club has a good chance of replacing the income lost from the cancelled Wine Tasting Event (2021) due to COVID. This is being done thanks to the ARPA Grant administered through the town of Old Saybrook. Pat D. will be representing the Club at the CFMC 25th anniversary celebration. Joan W. will chair the newly formed Public Image Committee. The Club donated a bench for the Estuary’s Patio. It has recently been installed.

Topics included: Budget - the process and the issues, transportation and highway use taxes, Education and the mental health issues brought on by COVID, and the Legislative Calendar. A lively Q & A session followed Devin’s presentation. Thank you, Devin, for your time and public service to our State.
