John,
I hope this email finds you ready to hibernate for the rest of the year. But before you log off for the holidays, I just have a few final things to share so bear with me. Get it? Hibernate? Bear? I crack myself up.
Anyway, on Wednesday, January 3rd, the Arlington Democrats are having the 2024-25 Precinct Captain Caucus and Reorganization Meeting. It's where we will elect the leadership of ArlDems for the next two years. In order to participate in the reorg, you must register to vote. This link will take you to the form to register to vote. You will need to download the form, fill it out, and email it to [email protected] by 7pm on Monday, December 18th. So please do that asap.
