If you college hoops fan and went to Georgetown University or University of Connecticut, or you are just a fan of giving money to Rep. Joe Courtney, D-Conn., the Verizon Center is the place to be on Saturday Jan. 9. That is where a noon fundraiser for Courtney is being held. (Oh yes and of course, there will be a basketball game: Hoyas vs. the Huskies). The invitation helpfully notes that Courtney is a member of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Seapower and Expeditionary Forces, the Military Readiness Subcommittee as well as the House Education and Labor Committee. It only takes a $500 donation for an individual to attend.
