It took three television sets, trays of baked goods, MANY scoops of ice cream and the help of some of the most dedicated Reno County Democrats and in the end it was an evening to remember. RCDemocrats hosted nearly 100 people at the Grand Opening of campaign headquarters Thursday night. Commissioner Garcia, Mayor Rose, NAACP President Pope were among the guests. All of our area candidates were there as well and had the chance to address potential supporters. The Linda, wife of Senate hopeful James Slattery dropped in and was astounded at the large turnout. James Bordonaro, running against Representative Moran was among one of the first to arrive and stayed throughout the evening. The enthusiasm for Obama's speech in the large viewing room was inspiring. A crowd of all ages, men and women alike applauded frequently as they watched the huge crowds gathered to encourage our presidential candidate.
We're hoping for as enthusiastic a crowd for the Presidential Rally to be held Thursday October 16 at the Salvation Army Facility starting at 7 PM. There will be refreshments, speakers, entertainment and maybe a few surprises in store.
Campaign literature and signs are starting to arrive at the office. We are suggesting a donation of $5 for the Obama signs but all others are free. Donations are always appreciated to help cover operating expenses. We now have a phone number for the office: 200-0279.
Want to remind everyone to come to the State Fair to support James Slattery at his debate with Pat Roberts, Saturday September 6 at 10 AM. Roberts is reported to be busing in supporters so we need to show our support in HUGE numbers. The Slattery campaign has put out an appeal for volunteers to staff his booth at the fair as well. If you could give an hour or so to help you can email the campaign: kathryn@slatteryforsenate.com
Finally a heartfelt thank you to all who support the efforts of the Reno County Democrats in so many ways through the year. We ARE making a difference thanks to YOU.
