The Best Saturday Afternoon Promoter

So three months after the electoral thumpin', the campaign enthusiasm of even the most die-hard Bush-haters could use some Viagra. It's kinda like asking Eli Manning if he can "do it again" before they have even left the field. Yesterday (Sat 2.3) there were elections in Massachusetts to send delegates to the state convention.

Nobody showed up in any city except Longmeadow. Everywhere else, fewer voters showed up than even the positions available..except in the ironclad tyrannical political empire of Candy Glazer (Dana Hall '65, Crestview Country Club '07) where all warm bodies within 30 miles are subpoenaed in a community house basement on a cold snowy Saturday because she says so.

The Springfield Republican reports today:

Democrats were hardly out in full force yesterday to elect delegates to the party's state convention ...However, a full allotment was chosen in Longmeadow, and Democratic Town Committee Chairwoman Candy Glazer said the turnout of close to 50 people was the largest she has seen in a nongubernatorial election year.

Visiting Day at Camp Glazer - Summer #2

As far back as we can remember, the last Sunday in July belongs to Camp Visiting Day - at least throughout the Jewish woods of New England.

Candy and Stanley, the 'rents, enjoying their second summer on Beaver Lake, Massachusetts with their own lake house "bunk", threw another Camp Glazer Visiting Day. "CGVD" is sort of like a Christmas Party/ Holiday Open House, but with Color War....and canoes...and less Gin.

Always on the cutting edge of the party planning business, my mother leads the way in the increasingly popular "back to camp" party theme. (seriously, click that link...coolest thing of the summer so far)

Photos from a kodak gallery are here.

Stanley was the boating counselor. Cousin Bonnie Rosenthal (Mother of Jay, CYJ Daled '89) won Color War. Everyone got Camp Glazer T-shirts and hats based on how many years they have been attending...an old Naticook throwback.
