The LW Democratic Club held its last Zoom membership meeting of the season on May 19. Featured speaker Orange County Democratic Party Chairwoman Ada Briceño updated members on issues relating to the upcoming recall election, as well as the recently completed Democratic State Party Convention.
Meetings will resume on Aug. 18, with programing centered on the already declared 2022 Democratic candidates and important legislative issues at both the federal and state levels. In the meantime, members are encouraged to periodically check the resources section of the club’s website for background reports on these issues. The first report, which is already posted, is a summary of an inquiry on systemic racist violence. The website can be accessed at sblwdems.wordpress. com or by Googling “SBLW Democratic Club.”
Future postings on the website will deal with diverse issues such as redistricting as a result of the recently completed census; reinstatement of federal fair housing regulations; and the role that the Santa Ana Regional Water Board plays in the proposal for a desalination plant in Huntington Beach.
The club will also continue to host a booth in the parking lot outside Clubhouse 6 every Tuesday from 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Visitors will receive voter registration information, membership forms and copies of the club’s most recent newsletter. Other materials relating to current legislation and upcoming elections will also be periodically available.
Plans are underway to make the club’s Facebook page and website more user-friendly, as well as provide udpated information that may be of interest to voters. Members interested in working on this or any other club project should call Democratic Club president Mary Tromp at (562) 412-0898 or email lwsbdemocraticclub@ gmail.com.
The club’s nominating committee has been authorized to proceed with planning for what is being tentatively called “Training for Leadership” sessions to begin once club members are able to meet face-to-face.
To subscribe to the club’s electronic newsletter, call editor Mary Larson at (562) 296-8521 or email democraticclubsblw@gmail. com. People should include their full contact information.
