“Citizen Action of Wisconsin” on Monday, June 1st, from 6:30 to 8:00 PM

The Washington County Dems will be hosting an event for the organization Citizen Action of Wisconsin (<– click here to learn about this organization).  

Citizen Action of Wisconsin will be presenting their ideas on how to change the power and influence that Progressives have and how to begin to fix the past political damage done in Wisconsin.

In a nutshell, the idea is to give members ownership for the work they do and completely change progressive politics without millionaires or foundations. It is designed to make sure that YOU decide how to help make Wisconsin a better place to live and work!

This event is free and open to the public. Please contact Tanya Lohr with questions at 414-467-8469.

This month we will be collecting prizes for the “Summer Reading Program” at the West Bend Community Library. (We did this project two years ago and were asked for help again this year.)

The prizes for the children’s “Summer Reading Program” will be for their treasure chest which is filled with prizes for reaching weekly goals. These prizes are typically a dollar or less. The librarian suggested pencils, key chains, individual play doughs, glow sticks and individually wrapped snacks such as granola bars and fruit snacks. The gifts are typically fun and inexpensive.

The library also has a “Summer Reading Program” for adults, and it is headed by our own Sara Davister. Sara has asked that we consider donating gifts for this reading program as well. Her suggestions include bottles of wine, chocolate, lotions, fun notepads and other fun gifts.

We will be collecting gift items at the Wash Dem Office. Please stop by and drop off your donation.
