Message from the Chair

The Larimer County Democrats' first fundraiser of the 2013-14 term was a huge success. I want to thank our former Congresswoman Betsy Markey and our current Congressman Jared Polis for hosting this event. Our new First Vice Chair Kristin Stephens took the organizing lead on our house party fundraising and her skill really showed up right away. We're lucky to have such leadership, passion and talent. This is going to work out well.

Rep. Joann Ginal is holding a community conversation to seek your ideas and field questions about mental health and other legislative issues this Saturday. Please see the details below. 

At the 2013 Annual Dinner and Silent Auction we will present our annual awards for Volunteers of the Year, Robin Murphy Davis Award, and the Lifetime Achievement Award. We had some great nominations this year and the LCD Executive Committee decided to accept all of the names that qualified. Our Lifetime Award Winner is Dian Sparling. Rob Osborne is receiving our Robin Murphy Davis Award for 2013. And our Volunteers of the Year, 2013, are Bridget McDonell, David Hallet, AJ Feldmann, Jeanne Berger, Warren Snyder, and Bill Moorcroft. Congratulations to these deserving Larimer County Democrats; We don't win without friends like these.

--tWilliam Russell

 

"In American society today, we need to have volunteerism.
I truly believe that it is the glue that will hold us together,
and it will be the energy that will take us into the 21st Century."

--Senator Barbara Mikulski
