John Chiang to keynote at El Cerrito Democratic Club Dinner October 22
Our dinner this year will have a few new features!
New lower price! Tickets are only $25 each. This is the lowest price per ticket in a decade!
Great new menu from Atcha Thai Bistro, a new restaurant on San Pablo Avenue at Moeser Lane.
Candidate spin room – instead of our usual socializing hour, we have invited our endorsed candidates to set up booths and be available to talk with our members. (It’s also a chance for you to direct some of the money you save to the candidates you like.)
But because change is hard, we’ll be having our dinner at our usual venue, the Arlington Community Church in Kensington. It’s a wheelchair accessible site, with some on street parking and plenty of other parking across the street at the Kensington Library.
And we aren’t giving up the great salads and desserts that you folks, our wonderful members, bring to share.
This is also your chance to meet, greet and listen to California State Treasurer John Chiang, who has also filed to run for Governor in 2018. You can say you got to meet him “back in the day.”
