I hope you’ll join me for one of the following events, an in-person legislative wrap-up with the League of Women Voters, the state’s National Prevention Week event at the Discovery Museum, and the annual Fairfield CARES Community Event featuring Marc Brackett, Yale professor, internationally acclaimed author, and emotional intelligence researcher.
 
I hope you will join the Fairfield Delegation tomorrow, Saturday, May 14 from 10AM - 12PM for an end-of-session wrap-up. This is a great opportunity to learn about all the work we accomplished in Hartford throughout the session, and for you to ask us any questions you may have. I hope to see you there!
