We just returned from a lunch honoring Liz and Paul Duarte for their many years of service to the Groton Democrats, both City and Town. Liz has been chair of the Groton City Democrats, president of the Groton Federation of Democratic Women, a member of the Groton City Council, and is presently our local representative to the State Central Committee. I know I’m leaving lots out, but the titles don’t really tell the half of it, in any event. Liz is one of those behind the scene workhorses that are responsible for getting people elected, particularly in the close ones. She works hard and selflessly in every election and this one is no exception.
Paul is a former member of the City Council and is a former and/or present member of the RTM. I confess I’m not sure. He’s also active in a host of community organizations. A number of politicians came out to give them citations, including Susan Bysiewicz, State Representative Tom Reynolds, who gave them something from Richard Blumenthal, and Groton’s own State Representative, Ted Moukawsher, seen here with Liz and Paul.
I also must mention that Liz and Paul were there from the start when we began our Drinking Liberally meetings, and have been pretty regular in attendance.
