Message from the Chair
Greetings !
 
I hope you enjoyed Thanksgiving and didn't have to spend too much time debating at the dinner table about Syrian refugees, climate change, or presidential politics.
 
Before we get too far into the hustle and bustle of the holidays, I want to remind you about some important events next year. Please mark your calendars now, because it will be 2016 before you know it. We'll be sure to let you know about additional details and other events as they arise. You can also "like" our Facebook page to get updates here: https://www.facebook.com/LarimerCountyDems/.
 
Tuesday, March 1: Larimer County Democratic Party caucuses, at a neighborhood caucus location near you. We are still sorting out the details, but plan to attend that evening if you want to have a say in the 2016 presidential primary.   
 
Saturday, March 12: Larimer County Democratic Party Convention and Assembly, at Fossil Ridge High School. Time is TBD that morning, but this is the next step in the presidential nomination process.
 
Early April (date and location TBD): 2nd Congressional District Assembly and Convention
 
Saturday, April 2: Larimer Dems Annual Dinner. This is our biggest fundraising event of the year, so we hope you can join us that evening at the Fort Collins Marriott for a great time!
 
Saturday, April 16: Colorado Democratic Party State Convention and Assembly, at the Ranch in Loveland. Larimer Dems are excited to welcome all of our Colorado Democrats to Larimer County for the final step in our 2016 presidential nominations, where delegates are selected to go to the DNC in Philadelphia next July.
 
We'll see you there!
