Dear Washington County Dems and Activists,

Our next membership meeting is less than a week away! Please join us on Wednesday, September 19th at 7 PM at the Washington County Democratic Party office for an important membership meeting. The office is located at 132 North Main Street in West Bend. We will be talking about our role in the upcoming elections, our future after the November elections, and planning for our very important Spaghetti Dinner fundraiser in October. I will not be able to attend this meeting as I am a guest speaker at the Ozaukee County Democratic Party meeting, but my role will be covered by Vice-Chair Waring Fincke.

Spaghetti Dinner Update
Our Spaghetti Dinner fundraiser will be held on Sunday, October 7th at the Jackson Community Center. We have changed the start of the social to 3:30 , with dinner being served from 4:30 – 6:30 . Our featured speaker will be Mike Tate, Chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin.

Tickets are now available at the Dem Office. Not only can you purchase your own tickets there, but you can pick up tickets to sell to your friends and family members. WE NEED TO HAVE A SUCCESSFUL SPAGHETTI DINNER and success is dependent on selling tickets.

Please contact Mary Reilly-Kliss at maryrk@charter.net with questions or to volunteer to help with this important event. Thank you! ~Tanya Lohr, Chair

WEDNESDAY JULY 18th @ 7PM

It takes about 400 years for aluminum to break down naturally. That Coke can you just drank from will probably still look about the same in another century or two.

Recycling aluminum cans saves 95 percent of the energy used to make aluminum cans from virgin ore.

What most people don’t realize is that aluminum is practically the perfect recyclable material. Out of the most common recyclable materials that clutter up our landfills—glass, paper, metals, cardboard, plastics—aluminum is the only material that’s endlessly recyclable, 100% recyclable, and that pays for itself.

Recycling diverted 1.7 billion pounds from landfills.

Recycling aluminum cans can also help the Democratic Party of Washington County raise funds to keep our downtown office open and the lights on! We have volunteers who are willing to take the cans to the recycling facility and get the cash to our treasurer. What we need are YOUR CANS! Feel free to drop off a bag of cans at the office. You can drop a can into our recycling bin. Or even donate your can cash right in our donation jar.

If you have questions call the office or contact Kathy Meindl krmeindl@gmail.com
