The Burbank Dems begin only our second full year in existence with this regular meeting: Time to sound off on what you want for 2008 and the elections, AND for more high-visibility and civic local projects in the Burbank area. For this special early-month meeting date, on a Thursday, club goals for the busy new year will be set from among those offered by the Executive Board after its annual brainstorming session in December. And don't worry: there's plenty of room at Kevin's. Get more info at www.burbankdemocraticclub.com.

Plus, hear a presentation on the state propositions on the Feb. 5 primary ballot.

It's also time to renew dues--so members, bring a friend! And all: bring a canned good or dried food to help restock a Burbank foodbank.

This year SFVYD is proud to recognize two heroes who have played an instrumental role in progressive politics. They are Ms. Robin Kramer, Chief of Staff to Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, and Mr. Rick Jacobs, Founder and Chairman of the Courage Campaign.

We are also pleased to announce that the recipient of our annual RFK "Ripple of Hope" Award, honoring an outstanding Young Democrat, will be Mr. Adam Seiden, for his tireless efforts encouraging young Democratic
involvement in the Los Angeles County Democratic Party, of which he is the Executive Director.

The RFK Awards Reception is SFVYD's most popular and best attended event of the year. We hope you will join us in honoring these three champions for their innumerable contributions to Young Democrats and
Valley politics.
