Hello, ECDC! We have an exciting meeting planned for our next general membership meeting (4th Tuesday of the month, March 28). Rebecca Barrett from Congressman Mark DeSaulnier’s office (D-Concord) will be speaking on the Indivisible Guide. Please see Hilary’s earlier post regarding the Indivisible Guide. Please note that we may have to change the speaker at the last minute.
After Rebecca’s talk and your questions, we will turn to our own VP of Records (Marlene Keller) and VP of Media (Mollie Hazen) to discuss the next action steps we can make as individual ECDC members. Also, both will speak about our July 4th booth (hint: volunteers needed!).On a side note, please remember that we need to recruit new ECDC members and renew previous ECDC members. The more members we enroll into the club, the greater our collective progressive voice in El Cerrito. This will become even more relevant when we weigh in with endorsements of Democratic primary candidates in 2018 (every 20 ECDC members gives ECDC 1 vote to endorse a Democratic primary candidate). So, recruit your friends, life partners, neighbors, and anyone else registered as a Democrat.Our March meeting agenda was developed by a quorum of our Executive Board, which met on March 6. The President, VP of Publications, VP of Membership, VP of Records, Treasurer, and VP of Media were present at the Executive Board meeting.
