The February  monthly general meeting will be at Bayland Park Community Center from 10:00AM to Noon on Saturday, February 27.  Our special invited speaker will be Gerry Birnberg, Chair, Harris County Democratic Party .  Gerry will fill us in on all the latest March 2nd Democratic Primary Election news and preparations for Precinct and Senate District Conventions.  I'm sure Gerry will also give us an overview of the county-wide plans and strategies being employed by the Party to increase upon the terrific gains that were made in getting Democrats elected to local, county and state elective offices during the 2008 elections.  Gerry is an excellent speaker and this is a great opportunity to meet him, hear his views on the Party's future prospects and an opportunity to thank him for his dedication and tireless work to help take back political control of Harris County by fellow Democrats and to turn it blue once again.

We have also been notified by the office of the Honorable Al Green, US Congressman, Texas 9th CD, that the Congressman will be also be stopping by the meeting to say hello to the SDC members.  If you know Congressman Green, you know that he will have some interesting and illuminating comments on the latest issues and happenings from the US Congress and how they will effect us locally.

The main item on the regular business meeting agenda will be the election of new officers and board members for 2010.  Please remember that in order to vote in the SDC elections you must be a current dues paid member so if you want to vote, don't forget to pay your dues!  At $10 per calendar year it's one of the best bargains around.  Dues paid members will be given an official ballot at the check-in table when you sign-in.  Any dues paid SDC member is eligible to run for SDC office.

As always you are encouraged to come early at 9:30AM to meet and greet local candidates, visit with club members, share the latest political gossip and enjoy our usual snacks prior to the meeting.

See you on Saturday - please don't be late!
