Attention, club members!

  • HQ is looking for clubs to sponsor various events this summer to help spread the Democratic Party message. Upcoming events include Cinco de Mayo celebrations at Prusch Park (May 5) and the Berryessa Art and Wine Festival (May 11). HQ has all the material you need to man our Democratic Party booth, providing information about the Democratic Party and registering new voters. Contact Judy Pipkin  at 408-445-9500  or via email at j.y.pipkin@aol.com for more information.
  • We also need club sponsors for our annual All-Clubs Democratic Party Picnic this year on July 20. It's a great opportunity to set up a table and recruit new members!

Special Election!

  • It's Special Election time -- voters in District 2 will elect a new County Supervisor June 4, which means there is lots to do at HQ for Cindy Chavez, SCCDP's endorsed candidate. Contact the office at 408-445-9500 to volunteer!
  • We love working with students! They help us with office tasks while learning about the Democratic Party, and we get to hear about the issues that matter most to them. If you are a student or teacher and want to know more about earning community service credit with us, contact Judy Pipkin  at 408-445-9500  or via email at j.y.pipkin@aol.com.

Spring Into Action!

  • Democrats joined the Zumbathon last Saturday at the Movimiento en Mayfair to seeks to, a community wellness event supporting efforts to close the achievement gap in third grade reading in the Mayfair area. Our registration table was kept busy signing up brand new Democrats!
  • Central Committee needs volunteers:  We need a door monitor and someone to hand out and collect name badges.  Since the County Office Building closes at 6 pm, we need a door monitor from 6:15 to 7:15 to make sure Central Committee meeting attendees can get in.  We're also looking for someone to hand out name badges at the beginning of the meeting and collect them afterward.  If you're interested in either of these two important jobs, please call or email Judy Pipkin: 408-445-9500  or j.y.pipkin@aol.com.

Spring Into Action!

  • Our big event this week happens the first day of Spring when we kick off the new CDP Region 7 with a pre-convention Regional Meeting.  Come and meet candidates and all your fellow delegates from Assembly Districts 27,28,29, and 30   Wednesday, March 20, right here on HQ's 10th floor. (See Calendar entry above for more info.) It's a great way to get together with candidates and fellow delegates before the state convention in April.  This event is open to all Democrats. Refreshments will be served. Please RSVP!

Moving Forward, Making a Difference

  • A big thanks to Judith Wahlberg and her son, who donated 12 brand-new office chairs to HQ -- those really come in handy during big events and parties, not to mention smaller meetings and get-togethers.
