Volunteers Valued at ECDC

In 2006 and 2008 I organized the club’s campaign walks as a volunteer.  That is how I began to participate in the El Cerrito Democratic Club.  It was a discreet task with a defined goal – get the club’s endorsements to the residents of El Cerrito.  It was a way to help the club function and achieve its mission.  The club does not walk endorsements every year, just even years, however, we have other activities that do occur every year and your help would be appreciated.  Since this is an election year, with a few more activities than non-campaign years, we have even more opportunities for you to help!  Here is a list of five (5) remaining volunteer opportunities in 2018:

  • Register voters at Loving Day in June
  • Staff our booth on the 4th of July
  • Assist at the endorsement forum on Saturday the 25th of August
  • Organize endorsement walks in September
  • Set-up and staff the Annual Dinner in October

Also, we would appreciate a helper to set up the monthly meetings and clean up at the end.  If you are interested in any of these tasks, please see President Janet Abelson or me at one of the next meetings or email Janet at ECDC.Pres@gmail.com.

On behalf of the Board, I thank everyone who plans to volunteer, Greg Lyman.

Membership Renewal Deadline

It is that time of the year – you are either a club member – or not.  Our membership Vice-President, Champaign Brown, will be sending out emails and a few postcards to 2017 and 2018 members.  Please read her note carefully as it will let you know if we think you are a member – or need to rejoin.  That is right, as of June 1st, you either were a member or your membership lapsed.  If you want to participate in the endorsement forums in August, you will need to renew by midnight on Wednesday, July 11, 2018.  If you do not get any correspondence by the next general meeting, Tuesday June 26, then please contact us at cbrownecdc@gmail.com, and we will be happy to look into your information.
