{news} RE: State Conventions Times and date, location?

[David Bedell]

At the Feb. SCC meeting, we set the annual convention for Saturday, April 
22, in New Haven.  It will probably be at Southern CT State University, but 
we are waiting for Colin Bennett to confirm the reservation.  The 
alternative is the Labor Hall, where we held it last year.  The time, if as 
last year, would be 11 am social hour, 12 noon start of business.  Jean, can 
you confirm this?

In addition to the election of party officers, this year we will also vote 
on endorsement of candidates for statewide public office.  At the Feb. SCC 
meeting, a proposal from the Elections Committee was passed, to consider the 
following candidates at the April 22 meeting:

Governor:  Clifford Thornton
Attorney General:  Nancy Burton
Secretary of the State:  Mike DeRosa
State Treasurer:  David Bue
U.S. Senator:  Ralph Ferrucci

Approval requires a two thirds majority of the Representatives present at 
the convention.
