CBA Luncheon "Meet and Greet with State Senator Anthony Gallucio" |
 (Pictured right, Tom Coots CBA Co-Chair, Senator Galluchio and Diane Grant CBA Board)
On Tuesday, April 25th, Senator Anthony Galluchio was the featured speaker at our April Luncheon Event held at the Navy Yard Bistro.
The Senator came and took questions from the floor from CBA members. Topics included, traffic, non-profit funding, crime, business issues and youth.
The Navy Yard Bistro prepared a beautiful lunch menu that included a tasty fresh salad and either an Asian Inspired Salmon and rice dish or Artichoke Pasta Dish. As usual, the Navy Yard Bistro was successful in providing a meal that was more than worth the cost and was also fast and delicious.
Attendees included Ken Flynn (Flynn Insurance), Jennifer Ridder, Jennifer Tracey, Dan Fitzgerald Esq. and Brian Callahan (Callahan Assocaties), Carol Bratley (Bratley Associates), Lynn Levesque (Lynn Levesque Consulting), George Miller (Juniper Networks), Anne Marie Beech (Fantastic Sams), Jim Brogan (Investors Capital), Ken Szefler (Sovereign Bank), Fred Pajak (Costa Fresh Foods), Andrew Miller (Citizens Bank), Ryan O'Connor and Brad Nichols (CitiBank), Beth Rosenshien (MGH Charlestown) and Mark Rosenshien, Karen Pinelli, Jessica Cluff, Paul Sammons (Paychex), Amy McMahon and John Shaw (MGHIHP), Patti Fine (Keller Williams), Joe Nogelo (Constitution Inn, YMCA), Tom Coots (The Cooperative Bank), Diane Grant (Diane Grant Design/Market America), and Lysa Miller (Ladybugz Inc.).

We would like to thank the Senator for speaking to us, the Navy Yard Bistro for the lovely food and location and to Jessica Cluff of the CBA who was in charge of organizing the meeting.
