Biographical Note
On January 20, 2010, Governor M. Jodi Rell signed Executive Order 37, which recognized 2010 as a year of celebration and thanksgiving for our founders and their successors who made Connecticut a great and prosperous state. The order also established a "375 Commission" that developed recommendations for events, festivities, fundraising and commemorative memorabilia. The Commission was made up of historians, educators, arts, culture representatives, and fund-raisers.
The 375 Kickoff Celebration was held on February 17, 2010 with Governor Rell leading a procession of school children, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, lawmakers and municipal officials from the State Capitol to the State Library. Numerous activities occurred throughout the state. The largest portion of the collection documents the Youth Art Contest, sponsored by the 375 Commission.
