Polito To Speak On Monday At NA Republican Town Committee 'Spring Fling'

NORTH ANDOVER — Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito will be the main speaker at the North Andover Republican Town Committee's annual Spring Fling at the China Blossom Restaurant on Monday, according to the Eagle-Tribune.

The program will begin at 6:30 p.m. on March 13 with State Rep. James Lyons, R-Andover, who represents three of North Andover's eight precincts, serving as master of ceremonies.

“We’re very excited to have the lieutenant governor joining us for what is one of our favorite events of the year,” said C.J. Gangi, chairman of the Republican Town Committee told the Eagle-Tribune.

“In addition to supporting the work of the committee, part of what we raise will help to fund our Jim Gammie Scholarship, which we award annually to a college-bound high school senior,” he said.

The late James Gammie, a Scottish immigrant who worked as an engineer at Western Electric, led the North Andover Republican Town Committee for many years. He also served on the town Finance Committee.

The scholarship is awarded every year to a North Andover student who will be attending college in the fall.

Any high school senior living in North Andover is eligible to apply. Students looking for more information on the scholarship are asked to contact Gangi at cjgangi@gmail.com.

Tickets cost $30 and will be sold at the door. A ticket will entitle the buyer to light food. A cash bar will be available.

The Spring Fling will also offer a straw poll on the March 28 town election. North Andover voters will elect two selectmen and two School Committee members at the Town Election.
