Greetings!
One of my favorite things about our Annual Presidents' Day Gala is the opportunity to bring the warmth of political camaraderie into the cold heart of February in Chicagoland. For some, it is the only time of year they get to see important friends and allies and, for others, it is an eclectic gathering of folks who are dedicated to the principles of being a Democrat yet exercise it in an equally eclectic variety of ways. That, in and of itself, is a reason to attend---just to be part of a group which acknowledges, with our presence and our dollars, that our BIG TENT makes room for all kinds and that our coalescence can win elections.
As an organizer of this event, I'll admit, I am a little jealous of those who get to attend. It's rare that I can even make it halfway around the room at the Gala to express my sincere appreciation to all who attend. SO, let me say beforehand, THANK YOU for clicking here to buy your ticket now and for adding to the warmth of that room in a dark month before spring and the primary shed some light on what our tasks ahead. It's a real sign of faith in what we are all trying to achieve.
Can't wait to see you there and, if by chance I don't see you first, come grab me and say hi.

ORGANIZE A TABLE OF FRIENDS
Everything is better when we share it with friends. You know the folks we are talking about...the hidden liberals in your play group, office or church group or the vociferous ones at the block party. Ask them to throw in for a table to support the good work being done to bring about the more just world they would like to live in.
