[Davis Democrats] 1 Week Reminder -Davis Democrat Club election general meeting on February 14

[G Richard Yamagata PhD]

Greetings Davis Democrat Club members,

First, -- This list will soon be exclusively used for club news and
announcements.  We are starting an action bulletin club e-mail list for
those that want to be active in the region and community.  The list is
already set-up.  We will begin porting those that are on this list and have
not requested to be excluded from the new list.  If you do not want to be on
the new action bulletin list, please send your e-mail address to
yamagata at virtual-markets.net

The new list will be:  davisdemocratclub-announce at velocipede.dcn.davis.ca.us
John Chendo will be list moderator.

DDC General Meeting for Election of Officers and Endorsement of Candidates
-- June Elections
Time: 6 PM to 8:00 PM
Place: Blanchard Room of the Davis Branch of the Yolo County Library.  
                315 East 14th Street.

              Davis Democratic Club Meeting 
                Tuesday, February 14, 6 pm - 8 pm
     Place: Blanchard Room of the Davis Branch of the Yolo County Library.  
                315 East 14th Street.

There will be a potluck on Valentine's Day sponsored by the Davis Democrat
Club starting at 6PM.  This is an event to break bread with fellow Democrats
and discuss the state of the state and the union as we work to successfully
elect a Democrat Governor and host of other Dems for state office.  If
people want to use this opportunity to pass out election and Democratic
party information or articles to the membership, they can do so.  This
should be a fun event with plenty of food.  

Please bring your favorite food you like to cook or prepare or purchase,
either a main dish, salad or dessert to share with 6 to 8 people.  The Club
will provide coffee, cups, forks and spoons and chocolate kisses, and if
they can be found, candied hearts.  The suggested donation at the door will
be $5.  If you need guidance in what food to bring to the event, please
phone Bob Bockwinkel at 219-1896 or G Richard Yamagata at 848-8364.

For the Potluck, the following breakdown is being suggested:  
A-K  Bring a main dish
L-R  Bring a salad dish (green, macaroni, or potato or other)
S-Z  Bring a dessert

The club will also have its bi-annual election of officers.  The business
meeting with the election will start at 6:45PM.  At this time there is no
planned speaker, except for the outgoing and incoming presidents.  Please
come to vote or to turn in your ballot.  The By-Laws allow for nominations
from the floor.  It is expected that the election will take up most of the
hour slated for this meeting.  

While ballots are tabulated, there is one item on the agenda, placed there
by President Tony Gruska, the endorsement of candidates for elected office
or primary candidates in June.  Since the general membership will be at this
meeting, this will facillitate the endorsement of candidates by the Davis
Democrat Club.  We will also explain how the new DDC action bulletin e-mail
list will work.

The slate of officers offered by the DDC Board for this election are:
President:  Arun Sen
Vice President:  John Chendo
