Join Us for Thanksgiving Dinner!


The Decatur Township Democratic Club meets Nov. 8 at Buffer Park Golf Course, and we will be celebrating the victory of Democrats all across the country. Dinner is at 5:45 p.m. with our review of the 2010 election set to begin around 6:30 p.m.

The club invites all good Democrats to our Thanksgiving Dinner. Please bring either your best side dish or dessert.

The club will also have several other business items on its agenda that evening including the presentation of the slate of officers for the 2010 club year. Nominations will also be taken from the floor. If there is a contested office, the election will take place in December.

Meetings are free and open to the media or to anyone that identifies with the core values of the Democratic Party. There are many chances to get involved in the club, and we need good Democrats. Our meetings always attract the best line-up of candidates, so come out and meet the difference-makers in our community. Club dues are just $5.00 per year, and one can become a Commodore Club Booster for just $25. Individuals under 25 may join for free. In addition to non-perishable food items, please bring new or gently-used hats, mittens, scarves, and coats to donate to the Goodwin Center so that we can help keep the needy warm this holiday season.

LATE BREAKING NEWS:
A few of the countywide office holders will be joining us!!! Hope to see you there!
