You may notice that many people are starting to wear or display safety pins since the election. To learn more about this, click on the article below. The Dem Office have safety pins available for anyone who stops in and wants to wear one. We are also working on advertising our office as a safe place. Come to our meeting on Wednesday to learn more!

The Washington County Dems will be doing a sock drive for the Holiday Hope event at West Bend High Schools again this season. Holiday Hope is a party put on at the high school for students who might need a little extra holiday cheer during this time of year. Students are nominated by their teachers to attend and are selected for a variety of reasons including economic need, personal illness, family death, and emotional trauma.
Our sock donations have been one of the highlights of the event for the last two years and students who have participated in the past have already been asking if there will be socks again this year. Sometimes students choose socks for themselves and sometimes they choose them for family members (there is a gift wrap station at the party where students can wrap presents for family members if they wish).
There will be a basket at the office where sock donations can be dropped off.
Thank you so much for your donations!
(You don’t have to be a member of the Wash. Co. Dems to attend! All welcome!)
We have changed December’s monthly meeting from the third Wednesday of the month to the second Wednesday of the month in order to avoid holiday conflicts.
Please join us on DECEMBER 14TH for our December meeting!
After the meeting, we will have a holiday get together. Please bring a holiday snack or treat to pass – we will provide beverages. This is a great opportunity to hang out with like minded folks and share some holiday cheer!
