Valley Grassroots for Democracy January Meeting

The January VGFD meeting takes place on Saturday, January 19, at 10:00 am at the State Building Auditorium, 6150 Van Nuys Blvd. We have a jam-packed meeting so please be there early so we can start right at 10:00!

Here's what we have planned:

Presidential Forum
We will have representatives speaking on behalf of the candidates followed by a moderated Q&A. This will take the majority of the meeting. Update:Rep. Adam Schiff will be speaking on behalf of Barack Obama and Rep. Brad Sherman will be speaking on behalf of Hillary Clinton.

Santa Clarita City Council endorsement (election on April 8)
We will consider an endorsement for the April 8 Santa Clarita City Council election. The Democratic candidates are scheduled to attend the meeting and ask for your support.

We will also have resolutions from our Political Action Committee and information on how to become a delegate to national convention in Denver.

Last month we started volunteering at the AIDS Project LA food bank. We learned that they receive food from various sources but they don't receive any toiletries for their clients. They are asking for donations of toiletries, specifically deodorant, razors, and toothpaste. We will be collecting these items at the January meeting, so the next time you're at the store pick up one or more of these items and bring it with you to the meeting.
