PICTURE STORY:

    
TOWN HALL , CELL TOWER AND OLD PICTURE OF WESTON LIBRARY
In case you didn't know, everything in Weston takes place in the center of Town.  Obviously, the photo of Weston Library with Norfield Church in the background is NOT from this Fall season...


Mary Sowinski
LEAGUE NOTECARD OF OLD POST OFFICE AND FRESH PICKED HYDRANGEA
(Not shown) The coffee, cider, cookies and other edibles were placed on a red table cloth in the entry area.

    
DOESN'T ANYONE CARE ABOUT CT FINANCES?
Shortly before 10a.m. (i.e. 30 minutes before scheduled start) this is what it looked like...left.  By a bit after 10:30a.m., PRESTO CHANGE-O - a flash mob of Westonites and some neighbors from other towns materialized!!!



 
INTRODUCTION BY CT MIRROR PUBLISHER AND AWAY WE GO!
The CT MIRROR, www.ctmirror.org, is a non-partisan non-profit online publication.  Publisher Bruce S. Putterman pictured above.
 

IT'S A BIRD, IT'S A PLANE...
It is super reporter Keith Phaneuf of the CT MIRROR, awaiting his time to tell it like it is.

 
LAWN VS. CRABGRASS (ABOVE LAWN IS NOT IN WESTON!).
Mr. Phaneuf likened Connecticut's "fiscal cliff" to a lawn being increasingly taken over by crabgrass, citing continuing dramatic increases in the percentage of crabgrass ever since 1980.


   
WHAT A PRESENTATION! 
Several things jumped out on the subject of what kind and how deep the fiscal hole is that Connecticut faces.  More about this later...it was one of the last questions.
