John,

If you made it out to the New Year New Member happy hour, I'm so glad you came! I loved seeing so many new faces that braved the cold to learn how to get involved with our community (If you talked with me, hi again!). I hope the past snow and the coming rain haven't dampened your resolve, because there's plenty to do ahead!

The AYD caucus Re-Org Meeting is TODAY, January 23rd, at Central Library in Ballston. You got the gist from chatting with us at the happy hour, now come learn what we do and get involved with the issues that matter to you.

*CORRECTION* VAYD convention will be held in Roanoke and not Richmond. We apologize for the confusion.

Remember that the VAYD convention is April 12-14th in Richmond Roanoke - space is limited if you want to go with our block, so head to this form if you want to come connect with young Dems from all over the commonwealth!

And since we're in Virginia and can never get enough elections, early voting for the presidential primary is open at Courthouse Plaza weekdays until March 1st!

See you soon!

~Samantha
