Thursday
I
attended
the
well
I
got
to
meet
Santa
Claus.
Let's
just
put
it
that
way.
There,
the
city
municipal
building
I,
was
a
lot
of
fun,
very
much
enjoyed
it,
and
then
saturday,
I
missed
the
holiday
parade,
but
I
went
to
a
dtc
meeting
and
honor
of
Andy
Maynard.
He
hasn't
quite
retired
yet
from
the
Senate
I
was
about
Paul.
We
just
left,
but
I
just
wanted
to
congratulate
him
on
a
job.
Well
done.
Thank.
F
F
You
on
the
twenty-third
and
twenty-fourth
of
November,
which
was
thanksgiving
even
thanksgiving.
I
worked
with
sub
bets
to
help
prepare
the
meals
that
they
do
for
their
summer
ii
veterans
and
for
the
active
duty
submarine
personnel
and
on
the
first
I,
tend
to
the
Holiday
Festival
and
on
Saturday
I
also
attend
the
parade
and
both
the
Holiday
Festival
Parade
are
just
so
much
fun
because
of
the
positive
energy
that
you
get
from
the
crowds
and
that's
all.
I
have
okay.
B
A
Director
on
us,
okay,
I'm,
going
to
report
on
a
couple
of
things.
I
also
worked
at
the
subjects
on
Wednesday,
the
23rd
and
thursday.
The
twenty
fourth
I
was
there
for
the
part
where
we
filled
the
meals
to
go,
and
we
sent
out
over
seven
hundred
meals
to
go
on
Monday
November
28th
I
met
with
Ray
Boucher
from
do
t
they
have.
A
They
have
requested
acquisition
of
an
easement
on
the
water,
ops
property
there.
It
would
be
very
small,
easements
they're,
actually
just
for
guy
wires
for
poles
that
are
going
to
be
used
for
lights.
So
something
will
be
coming
to
you
at
some
point
to
accept
its
I.
Think
it's
like
five
hundred
dollars.
I
mean
that's
the
cost
of
this,
but
we
did
meet
with
him.
It
has
to
be
referred
to
the
poz.
A
This
grant
has
been
received
by
the
Council
of
Governments
to
do
this
land
you
study
and
the
idea
of
it
is
to
look
at
the
way
we
compatibly
use
land
between
the
submarine
base
and
the
surrounding
municipalities
so
that
we
can
meet
the
needs
of
the
sub
base
with
an
and
the
needs
of
the
municipalities
in
terms
of
their
development
and
so
that
we're
working
in
concert
on
development
I
also
on
that
day,
went
to
the
Cirque
awards
dinner.
That's
the
Connecticut
economic
resource
center
and
accepted
on
behalf
of
submarine
century.
A
A
A
It
was
it's
really
been
a
fascinating
process
and
they
will
be
back
in
January
on
Thursday
I
also
attended
the
Holiday
Festival
and
on
Friday
again
Thames
River
innovation
places
tour
and
the
gef
fundraiser
on
Saturday
I
rip
presented
the
city
at
the
christening
of
the
Colorado,
and
it
was
nice
to
hear
speaker
after
speaker
talk
about
what
good
things
Groton.
An
electric
boat
do
and
Groton
being
the
submarine
capital
of
the
world.
I
also
attended
the
holiday
lights
parade
remembered
my
hat
and
my
gloves.
A
A
A
You
certainly
are
welcome
to
have
one
I
will
not
be
here,
but
you
certainly
would
be
welcome
to
have
one
to
talk
about
the
list.
So
I
wondered
if
it
would
be
appropriate
to
make
this
a
referral
for
our
group
committees
next
tuesday,
and
to
look
at
what
CCM
has
their
issues
what's
particular
to
us
and
what
cog
is
putting
together
so
that
we
could
then
invite
senator-elect
summers
to
a
meeting
in
January
and
perhaps
the
rest
of
our
delegation
to
talk
about
what's
important
to
us.
A
B
C
A
D
A
C
A
Because,
right
now
we
don't
have
anything
else
for
that,
most
of
the
other
things
that
are
being
discussed
in
Deb
and
I
discussed
an
issue.
That's
coming
up
about
revising
the
auditorium
rules,
but
that
can
wait
until
the
January
committee
of
the
whole,
so
other
things
that
have
come
up
can
wait
till
then
it's
like
it's
like
a
holiday
present.
You
know
you
get
an
extra
night
off
okay.
So
then
that's
what
we'll
do
women
go?
A
C
C
I'll,
let
it
go
this
time
resolution
