Message from the Chair

Hello Nelson Democrats, 

While we have certainly entered the dog days of summer, I’m happy to let you know that the Nelson Democrats are hard at work.  Canvassing for Josh Throneburg is going strong throughout Nelson. If you’d like to join in, please click here for the schedule. You can reach out to myself, Wisteria Johnson, or your precinct captain to get plugged in. 

Planning for our September 10th DemFest is in full swing. It’s time to buy your tickets, so please don’t delay. You can click the link here and grab them now, please.  If you would like to give us extra help by being a sponsor, please click here. As In the past, sponsors get free tickets. A $100 level sponsor gets one free ticket, $250 gets 2 free tickets, and $500 gets 3 free tickets. Often times these tickets are donated back to our committee which gives us great leeway to invite folks who would like to attend our event, but can’t afford the cost. Also, if you want to help pull the DemFest together, please reach out to me and I’ll plug you in. 

Going in another direction here – one of the great field organizers for the Ben Moses campaign was Kara Kline. She is now working hard to organize a chapter of the Young Democrats in the greater Charlottesville area. Since we all recognize that one of our biggest issues is the age of our committee, we need to do all we can to encourage younger folks to pick up the ball. You can click the link here for more information on how to join the effort. Don’t hesitate to send the link to your children.   

Our next full committee meeting is this Thursday, August 11, 7:00 PM, in the shelter behind the Nelson Center. Please bring a chair and come join us. We will have plenty of Throneburg yard signs at the meeting and I have them at home, so if you can’t make the meeting, let me know and we can meet up. 

That’s all for now.  Stay cool, safe, and please buy your tickets for the DemFest soon.

Thanks 

Larry
