The debate will last roughly two hours and refreshments will be served for attendees to enjoy during what should be a very enjoyable afternoon. We hope to see everyone there!
We will be having our next General Meeting on Monday, October 19th at 7 pm in Schwitzer 012. Brian Williams, Candidate for Mayor of Indianapolis (pictured right), will be our guest speaker. We will also be talking about our fundraising efforts and community service project for the year. Food and drinks will be provided and we hope to see everyone there!
Also, apologies for not posting reminders about our previous two meetings, so here is a synopsis. On September 28th, Marion County Judge Jose Salinas spoke to the club. On October 5th, Vop Osili, Candidate for Indiana Secretary of State, and Andy Miller, a surrogate for the Melina Kennedy for Indianapolis Campaign, spoke about their respective elections. Also, this meeting was a first for the year for the club: Vop Osili was the first Candidate to be hosted by our Club!! Many thanks to all three of these speakers for coming out and talking to College Democrats about getting involved in the community!
The school year has been proceeding quickly, and we have been in school for almost a month now!
Our next meeting is this Monday, September 21st, at 7 pm in Schwitzer 012. We have had a change in our guest speaker for this meeting. Our new guest speaker is Alison Griffin, State Field Director for Indiana OFA. OFA stands for Organizing for America, and it is what has been absorbed into the DNC from President Obama's campaign, so its all about the Grassroots organizing, and we love the Grassroots.
Free food and drinks as always! We hope to see everyone there!
