The PebbleCreek Democratic Club held its November meeting on Wednesday, November 1, 2017, at 7:00 p.m. in the Tuscany Chianti Room. This meeting inaugurated our new before meeting social hour with a full service cash bar and was a great success! It provided a new opportunity to meet people and welcome both prospective and new members to the club.
We plan on continuing the social hour in 2018 and the Executive Board would like to thank the Social Committee once again for this thoroughly enjoyable idea!
Our main speaker for the evening was Arizona State Senator Katie Hobbs from the 24th district. Senator Hobbs announced her candidacy for Arizona Secretary of State on March 8, 2017.
Additional presenters were Michelle Harris, LD-13 candidate for the Arizona Senate, Stan Arterberry, candidate for the Community College Board and Nathan Schneider, candidate for Arizona LD-13 representative.
This year the Democratic Club is raising funds for Hayden’s Hope Totes, a nonprofit organization that provides duffle bags for children entering the foster care system. Frequently these children are placed in custody without any of their personal possessions and these duffels provide a safe place for their belongings. At each of our general meetings we are raffling two or three nice gift baskets, six tickets for $5, to raise funds for this charity. Each of these baskets is different and prepared by the club’s Social Committee. This is .ery worthy cause and, if you haven’t bought some raffle tickets previously, I encourage you to partake in the future.
The next meeting will be the annual Holiday Party being hosted this year by Chuck and Frankie Veltri.
