Let's keep those "Blue Apple $" rolling in!  In the first four months of 2016, 63 of us contributed a generous $13,000. Here is the challenge: We need to raise at least that same amount in the next four months to support our upcoming, extensive outreach Voter Guide and News mailing to 18,000 Democrat and Unaffiliated voters in Henderson County in September.  ActBlue is a safe, secure way to give monthly to support our progressive cause.  Please click ActBlue at right! We are counting on you!  Thank you for your ongoing financial support.

Speaker:                   Shelly Bossert, wife of Norm Bossert, NC Senate Candidate
      
Shelly will discuss the complete HB2 bill that was passed by the North Carolina legislature and signed by Gov. Pat McCrory.

Upcoming Activities

LAST SATURDAY’S BREAKFAST SPEAKER!   If you missed interacting with Carolina McCready from El  Centro at the Saturday Breakfast, you really missed an amazing opportunity to have your heart touched  and to connect with the Latino community.  But it’s never too late, in fact, the 15 people who listened and questioned and created new ideas laid the groundwork for a growing two-way relationship in the future.  Expect to hear more!

ARE YOU A VET?  Then it’s an Open House Story Swap time for YOU, a casual front porch get together on Memorial  Day, Monday, May 30, from  3-5 pm at the Henderson County Democratic Party Headquarters at  905 Greenville Hwy.  It’s the perfect day and time to honor the gifts our  veterans have given and the stories they tell, or need to tell.  And it’s the perfect time for some laughs, too!  Light Refreshments!  Please RSVP to Nancy Glowacki  606-5201 or to HQ 692-6424 to let us know you’re coming!  Families are welcome, too, of course!

WE’RE REVVING UP FOR THE JULY 4th PARADEALL AGES, ALL COLORS, ALL OF LIFE IN ITS DIVERSITY!  It’s in the planning stages for a musical, moving message as we walk together down Main St.  If you are interested in helping to create this spectacular scene, please call Nancy NOW at 606-5201.
THANKS FOR VOLUNTEERS

We welcomed four new office staff to the roster:  Ann Twiggs, Mary MacGregor, Kathryne and Lliam McKissock. Five of us showed up to begin the Spring Cleaning gig - Karen Womack is the carpet cleaning 'angel' who persists in improving our HQ floors, she, Nancy Glowacki and Mary MacGregor did interior windows and vacuuming air conditioners.  Sissy Owen and Mary also cleaned up our front gardens and have plans to continue beautifying.  Phil Bostrum did fence repairs and lots of pruning as Nancy cleaned up bricks and raked.   MORE WORK TO COME - let Nancy know if you want to pitch in!  606-5201.

Isabel Cutler continues to create and laminate new signs for our window advertising.  Alliyah Hoffman, our high school intern, did a complete Excel  inventory of all HQ equipment. And there are more - so many behind the scenes workers who do the hands-on work to present an inviting environment!

Kudos to Tony Womack for coming forward to volunteer his mowing services to HQ! This act of generosity will save us several hundred dollars a year and we are already reaping the excellence of his work.

SEEKING  VOLUNTEER MUSICIANS:  We're considering a Summer Porch Saturday Jam, a chance to sit around and share music and sing, drink coffee, talk.  If you like playing in "circle jams" where people take turns around the circle, please call or email Nancy to talk more.  606-5201
 
VOLUNTEERS CONTINUE TO SPRING CLEAN OUR HQ - Coming soon, power wash the building gutters, wash the outside windows, finish painting the porch, and clean up all the fallen tree debris around the edges.  To help form a list of volunteers, please call Nancy at 606-5201  We’ll be decorating the front for Memorial  Day and onward, planting more flowers, et cetera.
