Our Mission
Serve
our community and our neighborhoods by working together with
elected officials, community groups, and neighborhood associations
Identify,
interview,
endorse, and elect Democratic candidates for local, state, and national office.
Meetings
During
the year, we hold
general
meetings which are open to all interested members of the community.
Prominent citizens, elected officials, and candidates for office are
frequently guest speakers. We talk about issues of concern —
and what we can do about them. Additionally, we hold forums, often with
other Democratic Clubs in the area, on issues that concern us
politically and as a community.
Find and Support Candidates
Finding
able candidates — from local offices right up to the
President — and getting them elected is one of our prime
concerns. If you care about who is running the city, state, and federal
governments, getting involved in your local political club is the place
to start.
Involved in the Community
We are
active all year
— not just at election time. We have committees working on
issues of community and political concern. You will find us at
political events, at the Community Board, at community events, and at
street fairs.
Good Times - Good Causes
At our annual Holiday Party the emphasis is on enjoying each others company and celebrating everything we have accomplished during the year. We also welcome our local elected officials to toast the season. Each year we also hold a fund-raising event at which we recognize a community leader for his or her extraordinary contributions. The money raised through this event helps us support local service organizations in achieving their goals.
