Sweet and Sour Peasant Soup Day

Around here, Friday is "sweet and sour peasant soup" day.  Some people call it "Chef's surprise".  My friend called it "COR day"- Clean Out Refrigerator day.

Whatever you call it, it's those odds-and-ends you don't want to forget.
That's today's post.  It's Sweet and Sour Peasant Soup day.

First off, the Daily Action:
Today is an email day, so if you could take a few moments to email Lt. Gov Nancy Wyman, we'll follow up Monday's phone blitz with some emails.

You can email her by clicking here (or by copying and pasting this address: ltgovernor.wyman@ct.gov ).

Even if you've already emailed her, please consider doing it again.  Sheer volume helps us, and the fact that there may have been new developments since last you wrote (the State Police having to ask the Bond Commission for MORE money for the Environmental Impact Evaluation because they've already burnt through $100,000 comes to mind.  Also, Senator Guglielmo emailed the Lt. Gov. asking for $105,000 for Willington's legal fund.  After all, if the State Police are going to tap into taxpayer money, we should be able to have recourse to the same).

If you think about it, copy in First Selectwoman Mailhos on the email, because I believe she's keeping a file of emails sent to our elected officials.  Just to have a duplicate of our opposition in case the state accidentally loses them or mysteriously doesn't get them or something.  First Selectwoman Mailhos can be copied in at: cmailhos@willingtonct.org

Secondly, please know that your emails are working.  After last week's email campaign to the neighboring towns, and number of officials contacted Mailhos to learn more about the issue.  The First Selectwoman has sent a letter to the surrounding areas, to help them get caught up with the details and to urge them to support us in opposition.  You can see a copy of the letter here.

Thirdly, don't forget tomorrow's fundraiser for Unwillington at Wilderness Lake.

Fourthly, and, I think, finally, if you know any 16-22 year olds, let them know about this upcoming event for them:

And if you can organize your commute home pasts Jared Sparks Road tonight between 5:00-5:30, you may be lucky enough to catch "The Show":
