Chili Cookoff set for Sept. 12 Meeting of Decatur Dems

The Decatur Township Democratic Club will hold its September meeting at 6:30 p.m. on September 12. The club meets at Buffer Park Golf Course, 3825 Foltz Street, in Decatur Township. We will also have a small chili cookoff for bragging rights. Bring your best chili concoctions for our dinner that precedes the meeting at 5:45 p.m.

Our speaker will be Decatur Township's own Steve Terrell. Terrell is an award-winning writer and attorney who owns his own law office. Given the time, one day after the 10th Anniversary of 9/11, Terrell will have a special presentation for our club members.

Also, many officeholders and candidates for office in 2011 and 2012 are expected to be in attendance. It's a great chance to meet them and find out where they stand on the issues. Please bring non-perishable food items for donation to the George T. Goodwin Center's food pantry as well.

Club dues are just $5.00, and you can join before, during, or after the meeting. We look forward to seeing you there! Help us put the "D" in Decatur!
