All,
I hope you have recovered from the hectic election season and the holidays. I am happy to announce that Democratic Party activities are in full swing again. Here are a few events you might like to take advantage of:
1 – Precinct 2207 Meeting – for those of you anxious to continue pushing Democratic causes, issues, and candidates in our area, please stop by Picasso’s Pizza at the northwest corner of Skillman and Walnut Hill at 2pm on February 28 for a reorganizing meeting. Here we will review issues to get involved in and talk about activism in our area, as we prepare for elections in 2010. (if you have pictures from President Obama’s inauguration – bring them!)
2 – Dallas County Democratic Party Executive Committee meeting will be held this Saturday, February 14 at 10:00 a.m. at the CWA Union Hall, 1408 N. Washington Avenue, Dallas, TX 75204 (near Baylor Hospital). All precinct chairs and Democrats are encouraged to attend. We will review the Party’s status and conduct elections for the County’s critical Advisory Board. This is a great forum to ask questions and really plug in to party activities.
3 – Preston Hollow Democratic Club – Thursday February 12, 6:30pm at Popolo’s Restaurant at the northwest corner of Preston and Royal. This club is heavily involved in House District 114 activities, and will cover many topics that are relevant to our area. For more details call Roger Grape at 214-502-7084.
