Young Dems Hold Second Chapter Meeting

On Tuesday, the UA Young Democrats held their second chapter meeting of the fall semester and welcomed special guests Chairman David Whitaker (pictured at left) and Treasurer Tim Freeman, of the Washington County Democratic Central Committee.

Chairman Whitaker stressed the importance of getting involved on the local level and the opportunities that come with attending county central committee meetings. He also emphasized the importance of students living in more significantly Democratic districts in changing their voter registration over to their new residences in Washington County. This is very important to helping us change the tide in Northwest Arkansas, and turn this part of the state blue.

Treasurer Freeman also informed students of the upcoming Democrats Rock fundraiser to be held at the home of Hershey and Denise Garner in Fayetteville. The fundraiser will be a fun opportunity to gather with fellow Democrats on Friday, October 2, from 7:30 to 11:00. Local bands, including The Smithsonians and Hot Shot Karate, are slated to perform. There will also be a silent auction. Proceeds will benefit the WCDCC. Tickets are $25 for the general public and $10 for students. For more info on tickets, email admin@wcdcc.org.

The next WCDCC meeting is Monday, September 21 at 6:30pm at the Homewood Suites hotel in Fayetteville.
