CWP(3) - Fighting the Good Fight in DC

The three directors of the Connecticut Writing Project are alive and well in DC, all training successfully from our regions. Today, we will hit the magical 7, fighting for all the support we can get. We attended sessions today about the state of affairs in both bodies of the federal government, and what the sequester will mean for us: approximately 20 to 30 more minutes in line.

Last night, we were able to meet with several UCONN grads who live in the area and do the Irish row of pubs and burgers. Still, the real reason we are here is to spread the word about what we do and how we can benefit from further educational assistance. We know that Connecticut has more support than most states and we teased one another thinking, "If we have more support, what do the others have?"

Always great to be back in the capitol. Viva Las, oh wait. Wrong slogan. Hmm, what is the song for DC?
