The State Rep Mitch Bolinsky joined the program to discuss his work on the aging committee and a Democratic effort to stop crisis drills, Frank Tavera from the Palace Theater updated us on  shows coming to CT.. and finally, Lieutenant Governor Susan Bysiewicz called in to discuss her Social Connections efforts to eradicate mental health in CT, and also talked about jobs, crime and other issues CT is dealing with.

Laura Soll, Board Member of the Windsor Food and Fuel Bank, joined Brad to talk about how the Windsor Food and Fuel Bank is appreciative to Windsor resident George Saponare for opening his amazing holiday-decorated home to the public during three December weekends - AND to the scores of people who visited, bringing donations of food and funds. This generous effort generated 625 pounds of nonperishable food and over $1,500 in funds for the Windsor Food & Fuel Bank. What a wonderful holiday gesture of goodwill by all! Thanks to all of you who helped to make it a success.
