We Need SOCKS—lots & lots of socks—for our November Service Project

Adult-Daffodil-mediumThe Washington County Dems will be doing a “sock drive” as part of a holiday event for West Bend high school students in need of cheer.

Jen Mesko, a special education teacher at West Bend High School, organizes the event in her ‘spare time’ because she sees such a need amongst her students. She reaches out to her peers to ask them to nominate students they think might benefit from such an event and to ask for donations. She provides food and gifts for the students in attendance as well as an atmosphere of hope, promise, and cheer.

This year the Washington County Dems have volunteered to do a “sock drive” for the students. Please donate NEW socks at the office for this important event. Please keep in mind that that these socks are for high school students—they often wear funky, fun socks. We will have a bin at the office for sock donations. Please bring a pair or tow to our meeting on Wednesday or to your office shift or drop them off during office hours: Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Friday from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM and Saturday from 8:00 AM to Noon.

Congratulations Washington County Dems & Friends!

Congratulations!

On Saturday, November 1st, our Phone Bankers were so good that we made it through the call sheets that we were assigned for the whole weekend by 1:00 PM. We were the first office in Wisconsin to finish our original sheets!

Our Canvassers also had great success as they walked all of the weekend’s lists except two.

Overall, we made 2500 calls and knocked on 1120 doors!

Wow!    Thank you!    Congratulations!
