I was thrilled to learn the U.S. Department of Agriculture is giving $10 million over five years to Tufts University to establish a National Institute for Cellular Agriculture. The institute will conduct open-access research into cultivated meat.
We are writing in support of Val Eastwood, candidate for First Selectwoman. We have been friends with Val for some time. In fact, we had the opportunity to help her with the care of her mother while she was under hospice care at Val’s home earlier this year.
We are writing in support of Jenny Emery’s candidacy for election to Granby’s Board of Finance. After a very successful, 40-year career in risk management and finance, in which she worked with thousands of towns and schools across the country, Jenny has chosen to invest her considerable energy, intelligence, and enthusiasm into the town she loves. Already, Granby is the better for it. One need only look at her volunteer work around town.
I write to encourage all Granby voters to support Sally King for the Board of Selectmen on Election Day, Nov. 2.
I have known Jim Lofink for over eight years, and have worked with him in a number of different capacities. I know from personal experience that whenever Jim decides to take on a commitment, he gives 100 percent of his energy, effort, and focus to the task at hand.
This note is to support Monica Logan for the Granby Board of Education. I have known Monica since shortly after we both moved to Granby six years ago, and am excited at the possibility of having someone as knowledgeable, dedicated, creative and empathetic as she is to serve our town and the future of Granby on our Board of Education.
I am writing in support of Dr. Fred Moffa’s candidacy for the Granby Board of Selectmen. I have lived in Granby for 35 years, and I have known Fred for more than two decades. In that time, I have come to respect Fred’s political wisdom and his deep commitment to the well-being of the citizens of Granby.
As a Granby resident and long-time community volunteer who cares passionately about our town, I am writing to strongly encourage all Drummer readers to vote for Dave Roberts for the Granby Board of Finance in the upcoming election.
I ask the voters in Granby to support Kelly Rome in the upcoming election as she seeks a seat on the Board of Selectmen. A Granby native who knows and understands the town well, she has both solid work experience and a proven track record on the Board of Finance that will serve Granby well in the capacity as a selectman.
Sarah Thrall quietly and unassumingly gives back to support Granby, Quick-witted and smart, Sarah is the real deal. She is an active contributor with a positive attitude and strong work ethic.
