The Democratic Club’s first membership meeting of the year will be held on Wednesday, Jan. 24, in Clubhouse 3, Room 2 at 1:30 p.m. Note the meetings will now be held at a new location and time.
In order to have time to socialize with one another before the meeting begins, members are invited to bring their own bag lunch and arrive as early as 12:45 for the 1:30 meeting. Coffee, water and individually wrapped snacks will be available.
Members can also join the meeting via Zoom by emailing sblwdemocraticclub@gmail.com
for the login information.
Dom Jones, the Democratic Party endorsed candidate for the California Assembly in the March Primary Election, will be the featured speaker at the meeting. She will attend the meeting in person.
In a recently completed Ballotpedia’s Candidate Connection survey, Jones indicated that—if elected— she would be a strong advocate in the Assembly for equitable access to healthcare, fair tax laws, empowering women and unwavering support for LGBTQIA+ rights. She is also committed to preserving the natural beauty of coastal Orange County, while also understanding the interconnectedness between economic prosperity and ecological wellbeing.
Gun safety laws will be the topic of the Feb. 21 Democratic Club sponsored voter education session in Clubhouse 3, Room 3, at 1 p.m.
These sessions have been relaunched in 2024 as a component of the club’s efforts to help voters better understand the importance of down-ballot races. All LW Democrats and supporters are welcome to attend. People can register in advance for this session by calling 562-594-9148 or emailing Beverleybender@gmail.com.
Weather permitting, the club’s Hospitality and Information Booth will be open every Tuesday and Thursday from 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. outside Clubhouse 6 until the March Primary Election.
