A friend of mine who served in the Vietnam War told me he went and was very touched by this jesture. The place was packed.. and he felt honored to be around others who served too.
Personally, I'd like to thank Applebee's too. My sister has done 2 tours overseas between Iraq and Afghanistan. This is not something you see every year and I think Applebee's should be commended for going that one step beyond. THANK YOU.

As most of you know, I worked the polls at the election here in Cromwell, CT this past Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009. The new selectman was the biggest question, along with who would be filling the positions of the Board of Selectman. There are 6 seats on the Board of Selectman here in town... and there were 11 people running for this position. When you voted you could only choose up to 4 people. This was stated on the top of the form and was overwhelming for some people. There were four on the Republican Ticket, four on the Democratic Ticket and three on the Petioning Line to choose from.
At the end of the evening, when everything was tallied, there was only a 9 vote difference for the sixth place position on the board with Allan Spotts being the foreseen winner over Frank Emanulele Jr. However when the count is that close, a recount must occur and this was a unofficial result. The recount was held today at the townhall today from 10:00am until 4:00pm. I volunteered along with other members of town to manually retabulate the results if necessary.... there were over 3,000 ballots in all to go through in all.
At the end of the day Allan Spotts still won by 6 votes over Frank Emanulele Jr. instead of 9. But here is the kicker. Six ballots could NOT be counted because they were filled in incorrectly... anywhere from 5 to 7 candidates choosen on each one. Therefore NOT knowing which 4 the voter truly intended on voting for, the ballot was not counted. Frank Emanulele was on just about each one of them.. and they were NOT tabulated. This could have made the total votes for the sixth place position a tie if the ballot was filled in correctly in the first place.
Moral of story.. it pays to read the directions, otherwise it could cost you more than you think.

POLES WILL BE OPEN FROM 6:00AM TO 8:00...
Once again I would like to say *Thank You* to all the Democrats that came out on Tuesday October 6th for the Runoff between Steve Bayley and Tony Varricchio.
As you are aware of Tony won the spot on the Democratic Ticket for Board of Selectman, but only by 8 votes. However Steve at the very beginning planned his stragety correctly and thought ahead. Realizing this might occurred he did NOT want to be off the ballot for November. He is on the PETITIONING CANDIDATES TICKET.... 2C.
The Board needs new energy, new ideas and new faces to keep progress moving forward and not a return to stagnation, petty politics and increasing taxes.
Steve Bayley has a website where you can check out his campaign and learn more about his platform and experience.
Steve has a website!!! How many other candidates have this? This itself shows that he is thinking in the times and technology of today.. not yesterday. Imagine what he can achieve once in office.
SO COME OUT AND VOTE FOR STEVE BAYLEY ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 3RD, 2009

WORKING ABOVE REAL ESTATE EXPECTATIONS! I am a long time resident of Cromwell, and a FULL time realtor. Putting clients needs & desires first is a goal of mine. Quality of service is in the details!
I'M HERE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE BY WORKING ABOVE REAL ESTATE EXPECTATIONS! We are now licensed in both Massachusetts and Connecticut. Visit me at http://www.CTrealtorMLS.com/ I am a long time resident of Cromwell, and am FULL time realtor. I put my clients goals and desires first, and try to go the extra mile for them. I feel the "Quality of Service is in the Details", and this is something that is lacking, generally speaking. I knew there had to be an improvement made. Whether you are buying or selling real estate, this can be a big/stressfful transaction, and someone needs to listen.. therefore, I changed my career. After 25 years of being in the financial field, I left to make a difference in real estate. I'm looking to be an Erin Brockovich in the world of real estate.. with this, I expanded my knowledge with extra classes and have been certified with an ABR (Accredited Buyers Representative). What puts me apart from other realtors is knowing that one should alway be ahead of the market when it comes to listing/marketing properties, and to always listen to your clients as if they were your first and only client... because you might be their first realtor.... and with a job well done could be their only one.
Clients may forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel.

Buying a house can be stressful. It might be the largest financial investment you ever make. Valerie took the stress out of this equation from the start. Thank you. I would recommend you highly for anyone that is looking to buy for the first time.. or their 10th time. Linda Wolfe
I would recommend Valerie to anyone looking for buying real estate in the Cromwell, CT area. She was understanding and listened to EVERYTHING I had to say. She took her time to explain the entire process, and made sure I felt comfortable and relax. This was a wonder experience. She is NOT your typical realtor. Christine Foss
Valerie stands out when it comes to competition. We recently listed our condo with her and were one of 16 in the complex. With her knowledge and expertise, she had it under deposit in 8 days. Thank you Valerie....JOB WELL DONE. Mark and Cyndi Rose
My wife and I were looking for a home.. we contacted 2 other agencies and they never responded. She responded to my email in less than 20 minutes. She answered all are questions, and put our concerns at the top of her list. She is very professional. We both our first home and close in 6 weeks. Kerri and John Clark
With all the realtors out there, we didn't know where to start. We were recommended to Valerie, and we were happy we listened. She knew exactly what to do, and make sure every detail was taken care of... she also helped us pack up our place. She goes over and above what other realtors do... from what we hear. Tom and Marilyn Beck
We tried to sell our condo on our own, but after 3 months, waiting for people who never showed up, peoples loans falling through, we asked Valerie if she could help us. In 2 days we had 2 offers, the one we accepted was $5k over asking. In 6 weeks we closed with no problems.. my advice to anyone trying to sell on their own and can't, call Valerie she knows her job and can help. Bill and Marilyn McVie
