Dear DuPage Dems,
What a fantastic week we have experienced! Here at the Democratic Party of DuPage County we are in agreement with President's Obama's call to service and we congratulate Milton Township on its Inaugural No-Hunger Ball last Tuesday which brought in 22 boxes of food and almost $400. We also congratulate the slates of people who have decided to run for Township office and do some real grass-roots governing.
Most of the slates for the various townships can be found HERE and we hope you will do everything you can to support them between now and April 7th.
Until we chat again, please take the time to either mail in your check for the Presidents' Day Gala to arrive by Feb 2nd or go to our on-line contribution link here. It is a jam-packed program that will be, at turns, entertaining, inspiring and delicious.
Can't wait to see you there! Bob Peickert, Chair DPDC

PLEASE MAKE THE 15th ANNUAL PRESIDENTS' DAY GALA SPECTACULAR!
Even if you are not on the Gala Committee, there are many small ways you can contribute to making it a big success!
PLEASE CONSIDER:
- Purchasing an ad in the ad-book to congratulate our new county board members or our new president. ADS ARE DUE BY WED OF THIS WEEK
- Joining with others in your township to produce a personal signature ad to celebrate your township's accomplishments SEE ABOVE
- Encouraging other people to share a table together with you
- Talking to businesses, local unions, friends with service businesses whom you think might like to advertise with us and send them to us!
- Passing out flyers in your neighborhood to invite Dems on your block (we'll give you their names and some flyers) DOING IT THIS WEEK STILL GIVES THEM TIME TO RESPOND!
- Writing us with the names and addresses of people you think should be invited and we'll send them an invite. AGAIN, BY MONDAY WOULD BE NICE!!
- Donating something for the silent auction (FOR THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY REPLIED, WE'LL BE GATHERING ITEMS ON FEB 2, and 3rd)
- Forwarding this email to someone you think might like to come
- Donating, if you can't attend but would like to help, to the gala committee at DPDC P.O. Box 185 Lombard IL 60148

THANKS!!!
