Message from the Chairman

Fellow Democrats,
I have just returned from the Democratic National Convention. It was such a tremendous privilege to be a part of history. The convention was well organized and the only glitch for the delegation was the transportation back to the hotel after the Invesco Field speech.
I was present at all of the Pepsi Center functions and the Invesco Field activities. The most emotional event for me was the appearance of “Teddy” Kennedy at the Pepsi Center on the first day of the convention. The Michigan Delegation was seated right up front and to the left if viewed from the podium. For some reason the DNC had Michigan and Florida up at the front of the convention. Go figure?
We are holding our F.D.R. Dinner on October 26, 2008 at the Commonwealth Commerce Center. This is a very important election year so we should have a great group of speakers who will help shape our Nation and State for the future. It is with regret that we were informed of the death of one of our great County Democrats. John Duane past away from A.L.S. and we are diminished!
There is a flyer in this publication for the F.D.R. Dinner. All county wide candidates are encouraged to fill out a candidate application to receive funds from the J.C.D.C.. We have money available for townships and county democratic candidates. If you do not apply you won’t get any. The available funds will be disbursed among the applicants
That's all for now.
Democratically yours,
Leonard Smigielski
