The Dakota Steakhouse in Rocky Hill was the setting as A&R Retirees sat down to enjoy a hearty meal and companionship. Connecticut Speaker of the House Chris Donovan stopped by to thank us for our years of service to the State and to outline his reasons for running for Congress. His campaign, he said, revolved around the concepts of fairness, dignity and respect. The luncheon concluded with a raffle for prizes such as credit towards shopping at Stop and Shop and a grand prize of a giant basket of various chocolates. Everyone seemed to agree it was a great way to spend an afternoon.
