The plank is set on top of a summer floral arrangement.Thank you everyone who planned, participated in, supported, and/or attended our Summer Bash!

The third annual Summer Bash brought Cville Dems over its desired fundraising goal of $20,000 by about $2,000 – and perhaps as much as $4,000 once the Silent Auction proceeds are tallied.

 

2 women volunteers sit behind a table with stacked up T-Shirts for sale. The black T-shirts have the words "Love" in light pink and "Vote" in dark blue.Our “Love Vote” T-shirts (pictured below and designed by Kate Damon of DC SparkleSquad) are still on sale for $25, with $10 from each sale going to us to help fund our campaign work and hiring interns (various duties to support the campaigns,  canvasses, and all our other volunteer efforts in this critical election year!).

If you’d still like to participate in some of the auction fun, there’s space for you at  movie nights at the home of Fred and Nancy Damon; contact Nancy at nancycdamon@gmail.com.
