Thanks from FOGPL

Del Shilkret, FOGPL President | November 1, 2018

The Friends of the Granby Public Library completed its 36th Annual Used Book Sale in September on a beautiful weekend that included other major events both in Granby and Simsbury. I am pleased to note that we had the best book sale ever, raising $10,600. 

We started with a record number of donations, a large and enthusiastic sorting staff that operated during June and July, and a board that worked side by side with all throughout not only the sorting time, but the sale itself.

Kearns Community Center

Cori Griswold | November 1, 2018

Our family is very excited about the proposed Kearns Community Center. We have spent some time with the members of the steering committee and the ideas they’ve generated are fantastic.

Support for Democrats

Peggy Chapple | November 1, 2018

I recently heard a local talk show host suggest that most people cannot name their state representative or senator. If you live in Granby, your state representative and state senators have been in office for a very long time.

Support for Republicans

John E. Adams | November 1, 2018

This is an extremely important election for the citizens of the State of Connecticut and for our town. For decades, our legislature has spent too much and saved too little to pay for the state’s obligations.

Support for Hornish

Francis J. Brady | November 1, 2018

I write in support of the candidacy of Annie (Wosko) Hornish for the position of State Senator. Annie has demonstrated her qualifications for this position through her strong local commitment and her effective state experience. 

I was fortunate enough to work with Annie as a fellow commissioner on the Granby Charter Revision Commission.

Support for Hornish

Lynn Guelzow | November 1, 2018

I will vote for Annie Hornish on Nov. 6, because she is the hardest-working candidate I’ve ever met.

Support for Kissel

Mary and Larry Laureno, East Granby | November 1, 2018

State Senator John Kissel is a strong advocate for the rights of the disabled. Here are some of the ways that he has worked for these people. 

He chaired a committee studying transitional services for youth and young adults with autism spectrum disorder.

Support for Kissel

Paul Anderson | November 1, 2018

I want to encourage fellow Granbyites to support John Kissel for reelection this fall. It is no secret (even the Hartford Courant agrees) that our state faces a fiscal nightmare.
