MORE for PHDC in OCTOBER
| | Precinct-walk weekends: Oct 13-14 and 27-28
What's the only piece of campaign literature that those who deliver it consistently get thanked for? Why, it's PHDC's famous blue door-hanger! "Decided democratically, delivered voluntarily" - without asking endorsed candidates or campaigns for money. We'll have a preview of this year's version (2010's is at right), and an opportunity to claim a precinct in Dogpatch or the Hill, at the Oct 3rd meeting/watch party. Oct 13-14 is the first weekend after vote-by-mail ballots come out, and Oct 27-28 is the last weekend before the election. 23rd Annual Potrero Hill Festival, Sat Oct 20
PHDC is a sponsor of this beloved neighborhood tradition, which benefits the Neighborhood House. We'll have a table there, doing last-chance voter registration, club outreach, candidate and issue advocacy, and 94107 t-shirt selling. 11am - 4pm on 20th Street between Wisconsin and Missouri.
