Following an annual tradition, East Hampton Democrats will celebrate the holidays this Friday, December 13, 6-8 p.m. in a gala party at the Palm to which they welcome all in the community. Hors d’ouevres at this happy event are lavish, speeches are few but there’s always at least one surprise as Dems announce the Democrat of the Year.
This year the Democrats have a winning election to celebrate. The brief program will honor newly elected Supervisor, Larry Cantwell, Town Councilwoman, Katheee Burke Gonzlez, Justice Steven Tekulsky and Town Clerk Carole Brennan as well as re-elected Assessor, Eugene DePasquale, Highway Superintendent Steven Lynch, and incumbent Democratic Trustees Steve Lester and Deborah Klughers, as well as two new Democratic Trustees, Brian Byrnes and Bill Taylor.
The Democrats will give special recognition to retiring Justice Catherine Cahill for 20 years of distinguished service on the Town Justice Court.
