A seemingly never-ending procession of Leisure World residents visited the Democratic Club’s table in Clubhouse 3 during the April 6 Discovery Tour. Club leaders—including President Bill Bruce and Treasurer Mary Tromp—were on hand to greet visitors, answer questions, pass out information, and give away over 100 glasses filled with candy, cookies and Biden-Harris stickers. Seventyeight visitors also registered for a chance to win raffle items, which included Biden-Harris tee shirts and free club memberships. Thanks to all the crew members who made this such a successful event.
The club will meet on Wednesday, April 24, in Clubhouse 3, Room 2, at 1:30 p.m. CA Sen. Dave Min, the California Democratic Party endorsed candidate for election to the U.S. House of Representatives, will join the meeting by Zoom. Participants can bring their own lunch and arrive as early as 12:45 p.m. to have time to socialize before the meeting begins.
Both Min and his Republican opponent in the November General Election, former State Assemblyman Scott Baugh, have agreed to debate each other at an OC Forum sponsored event later this year.
The Democratic Club’s monthlymembershipmeetings, held on the fourth Wednesday of every month, will continue to feature in-depth discussions concerning both candidates and issues. Any LW Democrat and supporter interested in learning more about the club is invited to attend, either in person or by Zoom. The May 22 meeting will address issues related to the local school board election, which is scheduled for November. In June,there will be several meetings dealing with politics at the state level.
