On September 6, we held our annual Fall Fundraiser.  This years BBQ by the Pond was very successfully.  The OSDTC would like to thank all of the committee members who donated food, time, and energy creating such a memorable evening.  A special thank you goes out to The Webb Family for hosting our event.  We are very grateful to Lieutenant Governor Nancy Wyman, Attorney General George Jepsen, Secretary of the State Denise Merrill, Treasurer Denise Nappier, Former Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz, 33rd District Central Committeeman Lon Seidman, and Probate Judge Terry Lomme for stopping by and spending time with our guests.  Congratulations to Adam Stillman for winning “Best Wings” and Adam Ladd for winning ”Most Creative Name” with his “Bipartisan Filabusters”.  Here are a few pictures that showcase the evening:

It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our longtime friend and committee member Joan Breindel.  Our thoughts are with her family at this sad time.  May she rest in peace.

“Too Hot to Cook” night (August 5, 2013) at Luigi’s was a success.  Everyone had fun and we can’t wait until we get to do it again.  Everyone deserves a night out.  Here are a few pictures from that night:

This year’s Saybrook Stroll was, as always, a huge success.  The OSDTC would like to thank Nancy Walsh, Marty Ladd, Hank Conti, Bill Webb, and Kathy Sugland for braving the heat and manning the table.  We would also like to thank those who stopped by to check in on everyone: Adam, Gina, and the Stillman girls, Wendy & Mike Gesick, John & Pat O’Brien, Mim & Kathy Scamporino, J. Colin & Alexis Heffernan and family.  And a big THANK YOU to Susan Esty for allowing us to set up in front of her store.

As always, the Old Saybrook Chili Fest was a huge success.  Our Firecracker Inaugural Chili with our Jalapeno Corn Bread, Avocado Crema, and Chili Lime Crema was well liked.  We went thru 15 gallons and had to close our booth early!  The weather was perfect and it seemed like the whole town came out to support the event.  A special thanks to Mim Scamporino, Mary Kennedy, Sharon Craft, Kathy Sugland, and Marty Ladd for manning the booth. For those members that stopped by to visit- thank you. This years winners were:
