Dates and Items of Interest to WHCDC Members

1. Tuesday, August 21, 2007. Monthly meeting of the Western Howard County Democratic Club at the Howard County Conservancy, 10520 Old Fredrick Rd. (Rte. 99), Woodstock, MD starting at 7 p.m. The meeting was originally advertised as August 22, so note the change. There will be a brief business meeting followed by presentation on the process for selecting delegates for the 2008 National Democratic Party Convention to be held next summer in Denver.

The remainder of the meeting will be devoted to an ice cream social and discussions with the local supporters of the national Democratic presidential candidates concluding with a Straw Vote and raffle. Plan to be there and get acquainted with fellow Democrats. Please note that everyone in attendance (adults and members of high school Democratic Clubs) will be able to vote in the straw ballot. The final vote will reflect the choices of the individual voters and will not be construed as a club action or expression.

The Howard County Conservancy is located on the northeast corner of the intersection of Rte. 99 and Woodstock Road, east of Rte. 32. Hope to see you at there!

Next WHCDC meeting: Tuesday, September 18 at 7 p.m. at the Howard County Conservancy.

5. Ken Ulman’s First Annual Family Picnic, August 4, and the Democratic Booth at the Howard County Fair were big successes. At least 400 attended Ken’s cookout at the Circle D Ranch here in Western Howard, and our booth at the Fair had a lot more traffic than our opposition across the midway. Howard County representatives for the Clinton, Obama and Richardson campaigns were in the final parade on Saturday and enjoyed many encouraging cheers.
