Denver Democrats Century Club Celebration

The Democratic Party of Denver continues to create a place to advance upcoming leaders, host party gatherings, provide valuable Democratic education, outreach, and community building to local districts and neighborhoods, and Get Out the Vote in every single important election, from the School Board and City Council elections coming up in November, through 2010 and beyond.

The group's entire budget is gained through donations from core party activists and supporters, and with a great event coming up for donors next week, you might want to take a moment to consider joining the Century Club.

The Century Club is a core group of devoted Democrats who support the Denver Dems annually by contributing $100 or more each year.

In other Denver Dems' news, the Executive Committee of the Democratic Party of Denver took a stand on Immigration Reform at its most recent monthly meeting.
