Trumbull's Elaine Hammers Gets GOP Verrilli Award

Hammers, chairwoman of the Board of Finance, is the 12th winner of the Frank D. Verrilli Award.

In addition to a launching ground for First Selectman Tim Herbst's re-election campaign, Sunday night's Lincoln-Reagan Dinner at the Trumbull Marriott honored many Trumbull republicans.

Among them was Elaine Hammers, who has volunteered on town boards and commissions for years and has worked in Hartford as a state representative and on the Labor Board. Her latest position is chairwoman of the Board of Finance.

At the dinner, the GOP gives out the Frank D. Verrilli awards to a Trumbull Republican "who demonstrates advancing the selfless dedication, time and effort to advancing the ideals and causes of the Trumbull Republican Town Committee."
