Happy Thanksgiving!

I would like to take a moment to wish you and your family a happy and peaceful Thanksgiving. For me, this was always a weekend of family, food and fellowship. It is my hope that you will also be able to celebrate this uniquely American holiday with family and friends by your side and give thanks for all the gifts we have been blessed with this year.

Also, if you are planning to start shopping for gifts this weekend, please try to shop locally this season and support our small businesses. Saturday, November 30th is the tenth annual nationwide Small Business Saturday. This day is meant to bring attention to the important movement towards small businesses and to support entrepreneurs in our communities. We have a number of great shops and restaurants that you can visit.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns feel free to reach out to me at (800) 842-1423, or by email at John.Piscopo@housegop.ct.gov. You can also follow my legislative activity by visiting reppiscopo.com or on Facebook at www.facebook.com/reppiscopo.
