June 5 -- Today's Little League Pancake Breakfast drew hundreds of Ridgefielders, young and old. It was a great opportunity to leaflet voters in support of the new school. Democratic school supporters turned out and enthusiastically worked the crowd. Here [from left] Rob and Mary Miller, Bob Opotzner and daughter Jessica, and Mike Jones take a break from leafleting.
