Tri-City Democrats – Friday, October 9, 6:00 PM
Greetings fellow Democrats!
It’s time for our October 9 gathering (6pm). We are inviting candidates who have made it through the primary to come visit with us. We will also have ‘Hate Has no Home Here’ and ‘Vote Blue’ signs available. At this writing, the weather forecast is promising for a picnic at the farm – 4501 W Lattin Ct, West Richland, WA. If it’s warm, we have plenty of shade and misters and sprinklers to take the edge off the heat. If it’s cool, we have a fire pit and patio heaters and we have some lights so we can see when it gets dark. In the event that the weather does not cooperate, we have the Pasco Round Table reserved. and we’ll make a final announcement by Wednesday the 7th. Come gather with like-minded folks and share some fellowship, food and beverages. If we are picnicking, bring a dish to share, and Tri-City Democrats will provide utensils and plates, and napkins. If we’re at the pizza location, TCD will purchase an assortment of pizzas to share. You’re on your own for salad bar and beverages, though there are usually pitchers of beer provided by fellow members. We’ll have the donation box available for those who care to financially support the group.
