We have 2 Town Hall events coming up for the John Duresky campaign. We have:
1. Town Hall at White Bluffs Brewing, Wednesday 4/8 at 5:30 pm
2. Town Hall at Moonshot Brewing, Wednesday 4/15 at 6pm
We try to do the Moonshot events every 3rd Wednesday of each month. TBD whether we will also try to do recurring White Bluffs events – we will see how this one goes.
Thank you!

Tri-City Democrats – Friday, April 10, 6:00 PM
Greetings fellow Democrats!
Update! The host location has developed Strep Throat, so in an abundance of caution, we’re going to revert to the Pasco Round Table location. Sorry about the late notice! We do still plan to have our presenter from Save Our Wild Salmon.
As usual at the pizza location, Tri-City Democrats will order several pizzas to share. We’ll have the donation box available for those who care to financially support the group. Some of our generous members are likely to purchase pitchers of beer to share. If you want the salad bar or soft drinks, you are on your own for those items.
Tri-City Democrats – Friday, April 10, 6:00 PM
Greetings fellow Democrats!
The weather is turning, so let’s have a picnic at the Farm – 4501 W Lattin Ct, West Richland, WA! There’s some chance it will be cool, but we’ll have a fire pit and patio heaters and blankets to take the edge off. Bring a hoody! We’ll gather on April 10 at 6pm. Come gather with like-minded folks and share some fellowship, food and beverages. Bring a dish to share, and Tri-City Democrats will provide utensils and plates, and napkins. We’ll have the donation box available for those who care to financially support the group.
We have scheduled the ‘Save our Wild Salmon’ group to come talk to us about the Snake River Dams and we will have ‘Hate Has no Home Here’ signs available.

Ok, so big task for this week and next is to call Dan Newhouse and ask if he is having a Town Hall. Since, he is on vacation while we are at war and there is a partial government shutdown. Here is the local number, let’s tell him how it is his JOB to answer to us, to represent us and to remember that the Constitution is law.
