Valley GOP to hold dinner meeting in Derby

DERBY - The Valley GOP will hold its third annual dinner from 6-8:30 p.m. April 12 at La Sala at Sons of Italy, 73 High St. There will be a buffet and a cash bar.


The Republican Town Committees of Ansonia, Beacon Falls, Derby, Naugatuck, Oxford, Seymour, and Shelton joined together in recent years to form the Valley GOP.
The mission is to bring attention to Naugatuck Valley issues and concerns and the need for elected leaders to address jobs, economic development, brownfields cleanup and redevelopment, and the like. 

Naugatuck RTC Chairwoman Dorothy Hoff said, “While last year’s event featured candidates for the U.S. Senate and U.S. House and provided them with a venue to get across their campaign messages, this year we are focusing on providing Valley Republicans with some motivation, inspiration, and some good old-fashioned fun.”

Father and son emcees will be former state Reps. Len Greene Sr. and Len Greene Jr.

For the third year, the Valley GOP is celebrating revitalization. Re-instituting an initiative by Valley GOP Chairs inaugurated almost 20 years ago - when Len Greene Sr. was the Beacon Falls Republican Town Committee chairman - the Valley GOP chairs are once again providing an event for Valley Republicans.

Guest speaker will be Kevin DelGobbo of Naugatuck, former Burgess, state representative and more.  He was chosen not only because he is from the Valley and understands the community's concerns, but also because he continues to live a life of public and community service and encourages others to do so as well.

The event will feature former state party chairman Chris DePino offering musical motivation. Many will remember his blues harmonica playing at state GOP conventions.

Tickets are $30 and are available through each Town Committee: Ansonia, Pat Henri, 203-734-1851;  Beacon Falls, Ron Holzman, 203-906-5254; Derby, Tony Szewczyk, 203-734-0486; Naugatuck, Dorothy Hoff, 203-723-4348; Oxford, David Stocker, 203-881-1844; Seymour, Bill Paecht, 203-305-5234; Shelton, Anthony Simonetti, 203-926-9022.
