Annual Dinner and Auction

On Saturday, September 27, 2008, The Easton Republican Town Committee sponsored its annual dinner/auction at Roberto's Restaurant in Monroe, Connecticut. Chaired by Cecelia Campbell, more than 75 supporters turned out to honor Val and Derek Buckley for their many contributions over more than thirty-five years to both the Republican Party and to The Town of Easton.

Although Congressman Christopher Shays, Fourth Congressional District, was not able to attend due to the House of Representative vote over the weekend in Washington D.C., Betsi Shays, along with State Senator John McKinney and State Representative John Stripp, was present for the festivities and conducted the auction.

Hugh Barry, Chair of the Easton Republican Town Committee, "encouraged all Republicans to get out and vote for Senator McCain and Congressman Shays, along with the rest of the Republican ticket on Election Day, Tuesday, November 4. It will be a close vote, once again, and every vote will count. The Fourth Congressional District just cannot afford to lose someone of Congressman Shays's stature and experience in these trying times".

Easton First Selectman Thomas Herrmann along with former First Selectman, William J. Kupinse, Jr., recognized the Buckley's for their many years of dedicated service with a citation proclaiming September 27 as "Buckley Day in Easton".
