Ada County Democrats – Your Party

August 3, 2009

 Good afternoon Ada County Democrats!

We’re moving through this summer quickly and with lots of success  in both fundraisers and public outreach activities. August brings even more opportunity for both, including Kuna Days on the 8th and the Western Idaho Fair from the 1st – 30th. Please check your calendars and let me know if you can join us at either event.

 I’m also excited to announce the development of our brand new  Outreach Council. Still in its early stages of planning, the Council will help integrate Ada County Democrats into community events where we can make a real difference, on topics like education, energy, safety, fiscal responsibility and quality of life. It’ll also give our volunteers more Specialized opportunities to help – we realize not everyone wants to call voters or knock on doors. If you’re interested in joining the Outreach Council or would like more information, please contact Gary Allen at  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

And finally, keep October in mind for a special event: a private screening of Michael Moore’s new movie at The Flicks.

Thanks and see you soon,

Chryssa Rich
