Flyer for Feb meeting 2013
Saturday February 9th 
CFDW Meeting
 
Greetings!
On Monday President Barack Obama was sworn into office for his second term. This was an exciting and thrilling event. You helped make it happen! We all can be very proud of the hard work we did to get our President re-elected and to keep Connecticut a true blue State.

Of course we always still have work to do. The Republicans have not stopped their war on women. Our meetings and events from now through May will focus on this so that we may be prepared to keep up the good fight. Please join us at our meetings and gatherings to continue our political work. Our February meeting will be great information about domestic violence and is hosted by the Cheshire FDW.
