DEMOCRATS "TREAT" HUTCHINSON







What a proud evening for Reno County Democrats! We entertained a large group that came to enjoy an evening of great food and a thought-provoking film. State Treasurer Dennis McKinney addressed the crowd with words of encouragement about the promise of a bright future for our state that is possible with the growth of the renewable energy industry and green technology.Those who doubt the commitment of Democrats in Kansas should have been behind the scenes to see the men and women who donated time and energy, working together to make this event a success.


Some of the proceeds that have been raised from current events have gone to renewing our lease on the headquarters at 1129 West 4th - a large office suite in Mark Treaster's Rainbow International Building. County Chair Vic Moser has proposed that this facility be used for monthly Democratic meetings. There has also been a suggestion that members bring along snacks to share for the evening. In just 14 months we will be going to the polls again in an election that could drastically change the leadership in Kansas. The state cannot afford more of the same but the only way to affect change is for us to increase our efforts to bring about that change. A recent article actually pulled Kansas out of the "reliably red" category into the "states that might be in play" column! It's the willingness to work for that outcome that will make the difference.
