Dear Fellow Democrat,
Hope everyone has enjoyed the summer season! To finish out summer, on a postive note, we will be having our annual Pinic and BBQ! This event will take place instead of the August General Meeting. See below for details, and RSVP here!
Our next general meeting will be Wednesday, September 25th at the Edgewood Fire Station (10105 24th St E, Edgewood, WA 98371). The regular meeting begins at 7 PM. Please come early for a relaxed social hour at 6 PM to meet with like-minded neighbors.

Please join us for 31st Legislative District Democrats annual picnic/BBQ!
The picnic will be from 11 AM - 2 PM on Sunday, August 25 at the Wilderness Shelter at Auburn Game Farm Wilderness Park, located at 2401 Stuck River Dr SE.
The picnic shelter has some seating, but we encourage attendees to bring blankets/lawn chairs to guarantee a seat.
The 31st will be grilling hamburgers and hot dogs. If folks want to bring an ethnic side dish, drinks (non-alcoholic), or desserts to share, it would round the meal out nicely!
There will be picnic games (lawn darts, badminton, etc. - please bring any you may have!) and, we hope, a community troupe of Samoan dancers from Auburn.
Finally, we will be raffling and auctioning off 10 seats at our 31st Captained Table at Attorney General Bob Ferguson's fundraiser on September 15 (5 PM at the Greater Tacoma Convention Center).
We'd love to see you again and by all means feel free to bring a friend or two as we relax and enjoy some fun in the sun!
RSVP to our facebook here! Hope to see you there! |
