Recently, Annie Wadsworth Grove (our Director of Music) was invited to speak before a group of senators in Washington on the topic of Social Security. She was there to offer a small business owner’s perspective. She and her husband, Matt, run the Bagel Grove (home to Utica’s finest semitic pastries).
Unfortunately, CNN didn’t decide to broadcast her portion of the presentation, but you can see Annie quite clearly on the left hand side of the screen as Harry Reid and Al Franken talk.
