Kennedy Young Democrats

Message from Linn County Young Democrats

2008-10-08T16:47:00.000-07:00

I got this email through facebook...I dont know how many of you also got this, but just thought I should pass it along!

If you have a few hours free this weekend or on Thursday, please consider coming into the Linn County Democratic Headquarters at 10 am on Saturday and/or 12 pm on Sunday. We need volunteers to place door hangers and literature at flood affected homes. Why? Because starting on Tuesday, Satellite Voting Locations Will Be Opening and we need to get this specific info out to folks who may need to use alternative voting sites. We hope you will be able to join us, AND, although we do not say it often enough,THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO!

T-shirts are in!

2008-09-30T18:46:00.001-07:00

Stop by room 172 if you ordered a t-shirt. If you havent paid, yet, please try to do so as soon as you can!

$12-if paying by check, make the check out to Kennedy High School

Agenda for 9/25/08

2008-09-24T17:59:00.000-07:00

Here is what we will be talking about at the next meeting:

1. T-shirts:
-problem: cost of shirt is actually $12 instead of $10. The price went up because of the
number we ordered was low and the number of screens we wanted. If this is a problem,
just let me know!
-please pay me ASAP (checks made out to Kennedy High School)
2. Volunteer at headquarters? How is that going? What are you doing?
3. Wed nights- who is going? Who should be going?
4. Mock election- Mr Evans is in charge- see him if you want to help out.
5. Homecoming- Parade next week!
THE FLOAT NEEDS TO BE FIGURED OUT BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE MEETING!
-Mr Beatty has offered to drive his convertible- might be the easiest solution to the
transportation issue!
-Handouts? Candy?
-SOMEONE needs to sign up with Mr B ASAP!
-Who will be in the "float"

-Next week: What will we do at Kennedy??????

2008-09-21T10:47:00.000-07:00

So, t-shirts orders are underway!
We have 20 orders in already! I know some people were not at the meeting to place their order, so if you could stop by room 172 or email me (ckollasch@cr.k12.ia.us) by Tuesday, September 23rd with your size, that would be great.

Feel free to let others know about the order- and have them stop by too!

The t-shirts are $10 and if you pay by check, please make them out to Kennedy High School.

You need to pay for them as soon as possible. I would really prefer that you pay by September 30th.

They are black t-shirts with the democrat donkey of the front and an obama quote on the back.
