Oct. 18, 2009 Annual RTC Pig Roast - Honoring Art Poltrack
 A crowd of approximately 70 attended the Redding Republicans Pig Roast on Sunday
to pay special tribute to Art Poltrack, past president of the Redding Boys &
Girls Club and outgoing member of the Region 9 Board of Education. Due to
weather conditions, the event was moved to the Redding Community
Center.
Redding RTC Chairman Ward Mazzucco greeted guests and initiated
the ceremonies with some good-natured roasting of Mr. Poltrack. Following that,
First Selectman Natalie Ketcham presented the honoree with a plaque from the
Republican Town Committee, its' inscription as reading, "To our good friend Art
Poltrack in recognition and appreciation of your contributions to our community
through your leadership and commitment shown to the Redding Boys & Girls
Club and Region 9 Board of Education." State Senator Toni Boucher then presented
Mr. Poltrack with special citations from both the Connecticut State Legislature
and from Governor Jodi Rell.
