COLUMNIST: 45 Years of having a say
Saturday afternoon, Steve Slosberg read several of his past columns from NL's Day to an appreciative audience of friends and fans. Stories ranged from musings on artist Ellery Thompson to the Dutch Tavern to the time Steve almost fell off a mountain path in Peru. It's a great romp down Memory Lane for anyone from New London -- & a super holiday gift!
BTW, we've got signed copies of Steve's book in the Shop! You can read all about Steve in today's Daybreak.

REMINDER
Wine Tasting at the Lighthouse Inn, & Online Auction
Date TBD.
Our relaunch of New London’s newly renovated Inn is still on hold. As of Friday, they've been waiting six weeks for a plumbing fixture -- it's a supply-stream issue!
A shortage of workmen and subsequent delays with permitting means the event is still some time off.
We will keep you posted!
