Just as the President of the United States gives his State of the Union address every year, Newington officials will present the State of the Town Thursday, Feb. 9.

The event will be sponsored by the Newington Chamber of Commerce, with a full breakfast catered by Newington High School’s culinary class.

“They usually cover everything going on in town … they tell us how Newington is faring,” said Chamber Executive Director Gail Whitney.

Town Manager John Salomone and Mayor Steve Woods will be featured speakers. This is not a political forum, just an update and overview on what has happened in the last year and what they see in the future. Everything from the upcoming charter revisions to the revaluation will be discussed. There will also be an opportunity for a Q&A session after their presentation. Registration begins at 7:45 a.m., breakfast is at 8 a.m., and the program will start at 8:30 a.m.

The Chamber is currently accepting reservations until Feb. 3. Tickets are $15 for non-Chamber members, $10 for members. The event will be held in the Newington High School cafeteria, 605 Willard Ave. Reservations can be made by calling the Chamber at (860) 666-2089. In the case that Newington Schools are closed due to bad weather, the event will be held Feb. 10.
