John, Anyone else spring forward and it cause them to be a week late for stuff? Just me? Anyway, I had a great time meeting and learning with you in February, and I'm excited to kick off Women's History Month with you!
First - Our AYD Happy Hour this month will be March 20th at Quincy Hall in Ballston. In addition to meeting and mingling, we'll be testing your wit with Women's History Trivia! I’ll see you there!
Block off time for our General Body Meeting on March 26th, at Central Library's Barbara M. Donnellan Auditorium. Details coming soon, but it’s going to be a great conversation for Women’s History Month, so you don't want to miss it.
We're also highlighting donation drives ongoing at Doorways and at N Street Village. Please check out the links to their donation pages and see below for more info.
Keep it up! ~Samantha Check out our upcoming events and more: |

March Donation Drive for Doorways and N Street Village!
In honor of Women's History Month, AYD is highlighting ongoing donation drives at Doorways—an organization committed to breaking the cycles of abuse, homelessness, and poverty, and Arlington’s only provider of safe housing for survivors, and N STreet Villagem supporting women experiencing homelessness in DC.
With over 1 in 3 women (35.6%) in the US having experienced sexual violence, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime1, the need for supportive services is more critical than ever.
Both of these organizations are collecting donations and essential items to support their respective communities. Please take a look at the donation pages below and consider contributing to these meaningful causes, or drop a donation off at one of our events this month.

Blue Victory Dinner (and Blue Victory Dinner After Dark) (Tickets, Facebook)
The Blue Victory Dinner is the biggest event of the year for Arlington Democrats! Our 2024 theme -- "Democracy is on the Ballot" -- emphasizes the critical importance of this year's presidential election in ensuring the integrity of our political system now and for years to come. Join us to hear from inspiring Democratic leaders, connect with old friends, and make new ones. We will also honor our Volunteers of the Year and renew our commitment to making Arlington and Virginia a more just and prosperous place for all. Your support of the Blue Victory Dinner will help ensure we have the financial resources to lead Democrats to victory in November and take back the Virginia House of Delegates.
