Pride Day. This year we do have a conflict due
to the fact that the state convention is on the same day
as Pride Day, Sat. May 17th. This means we REALLY need a
lot of help as many of our members will be attending the
convention. We are going to keep it simple with a table
where we will have material from all of the candidates to
hand out. For the parade we will ask as many of you as can
to wear something blue and to just march as a group carrying
the signs for our candidates. Please let me know if you
can spare any time to be at our table and/or to walk in
the parade. We will need people there at 8:30 am to help
set up and we will clean up at 2 pm.
Thanks
for helping and be sure to spread the word about MMAD and
help recruit more members. The more people we have to help
the less work it will be and the more fun we will have. This
should be a good year for Democrats so join us and do your
part to help save our democracy.
Thanks,
Penny Voyles 522-3713
