For decades, the Fairfax County Democratic Committee (FCDC) has held an annual dinner where we celebrate our previous year’s accomplishments and give awards to some of our most dedicated volunteers. This is the fourth year the event has been called the Blue Fairfax Dinner [[link removed]], and we think it is a really big deal. This special evening provides an opportunity to mingle with fellow Democratic Party activists, leaders, and elected officials while also raising money to turn out the vote here in Fairfax County. We are especially pleased that DNC Chair Ken Martin is our special guest this year. The Silent Auction [[link removed]] is one of the most popular and fun elements of this flagship fundraiser. In supporting the on-the-ground efforts of the FCDC, you are helping to educate and turn out the voters that make a difference in election outcomes here in Virginia.
