Young Democrats of Fairfield County
Dear Friends:
Over a year ago, a group of us started out to build an active and vibrant chapter of the CT Young Democrats here in Fairfield County. Our energy has produced a number of successes. Amanda Brown, one of our members, was recently elected to the Common Council in Norwalk, and a number of our members ran for elected office in 2007. We raised money to support candidates, got out the vote, and established ourselves as a worthwhile and effective chapter, all the while expanding our small circle and having fun. The biggest long term goal of this process was to build a chapter with stability that would be a spring board into politics for young people, and an asset to the Democratic Party as a whole. In the short term, we had a very specific goal of being up and running as an asset to candidates for the 2008 election cycle. That time is upon us, and despite a recent lull in activity by the chapter, we think it is imperative that we reorganize as a chapter and start working toward the promise we showed in the early stages of this project. It is in this vein that we are calling a major meeting of the chapter, Wednesday, July 9th at 7pm in order to accomplish the following:
- Revision and final adoption of our By-laws Officer Elections Re-organization of committees
- Planning for the 2008 Election Cycle
The meeting will be a retreat-like get together at the home of Alison Malloy (89 Mitchell St. Stamford, CT) with an agenda that will follow shortly. This meeting is key to the long term success of our chapter, and we urge anyone who has participated up to this point and anyone who is interested in participating in the future, to take time out for this vital meeting.
Thank you,
Adam Blank Alison Malloy Co-Presidents
