John,
What a month! It’s taken us a minute to catch up to the whirlwind the past few weeks have been, but we’re back and we’re ready to get to work electing Kamala Harris and the whole slate of fantastic Dem candidates in Arlington this November!
Bringing home the Blue Wave takes some planning, which is why for this month’s General Body Meeting [[link removed]] , we’re focusing on the AYD campaign plan - so come to the Central Library on August 20th and hear about how we’re reaching our community, other communities, and how YOU can get involved!
But we can’t execute a plan if we don’t have a tight community, and the AYD brat summer of friendship is in full swing! Our membership barbecue is on the 24th [[link removed]] ( RSVP [[link removed]] for address), and we’re going to go together to cheer on the Nats on the 27th [[link removed]] ! We’d love if you could make one or both of these chances to get to know your fellow Young Dems, and maybe introduce a new friend to the team!
Let’s get back to work. 🥥
~Samantha
