A couple of weeks ago I mentioned that my wife, among others, was going to receive an Ella Grasso Leadership award.
The awards breakfast was today, and I had to post something about this lady, who also won an award.
Her name is Anna Harding. She is from Winsted, and here’s the write up about her from the program:
Anna’s dedication to her community goes beyond the political sphere. One of the first women to hold leadership positions and break down barriers from women, Anna served on various commissions and boards working to make her lifelong home a better place to live. Her time spent helping her church, the Catholic Women’s Club, the Democratic Town Committee and the are soup kitchen have made her indispensible to her community. Having recently celebrated her 100th Birthday, Anna hasn’t let anything slow her down; she continues to be active on the Board of Directors for the Open Door Soup Kitchen and the Winsted Area Health Center.
Okay, I didn’t think she looked a day over 80.
Here’s the winners from the second district, my wife, Mary von Dorster, and Shiela Hayes of Norwich.
Numerous politicians were on hand, as you might imagine. I must hand it to Dan Malloy, he can get an audience fired up.
Anyway, that’s it from me for today. I just don’t feel much like ranting lately.
