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.”
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,
