[Yakima Democrats] Almost Last Call for FDR Dinner

[Yakima County Democrats]

Fellow Democrats:

With 300 plates sold and the count still rising, the caterer has set a 
Thursday morning deadline for the final ticket report for our annual FDR 
Dinner Saturday evening in the Yakima Convention Center.

If you are planning to attend, please RSVP right away to Deb at 
966-2274; Carrie at 452-5133; Robbie at 972-8816 or Joyce at 248-1087. 
There will only be a limited number of tickets available at the door.

When RSVPing, please specify your meal choice: Center Cut Pork Loin or 
King Salmon.Vegetarian is also available.

Gov. Chris Gregoire, who just launched her campaign for re-election, 
will be headline speaker. Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler is 
another program speaker along with Peter Goldmark, candidate for state 
public lands commissioner.

Saturday's  FDR Dinner crowd will be the largest gathering of Democrats 
in Yakima in recent years - and will follow the Yakima County Convention 
that will be held earlier in the day in the Center. Registration will 
open at 9 a.m. The convention is programmed to no later than 3:30 p.m. 
to allow for banquet room setup.

A no-host reception is scheduled for 5 p.m., dinner service at 6:15 and 
the program at 7 o'clock.

As chair, let me express the gratitude of the Yakima County Central 
Committee for the generous support of these major sponsors: the Central 
Washington Building Trades Council, Mid-Valley Insurance, Inc. of 
Yakima, Attorney Tom Bothwell and Teamsters Local 760.

The tremendous turnout at the presidential precinct caucuses in February 
and the great support for our FDR Dinner clearly show that the 
Democratic Party in Yakima County is highly motivated and gathering 
steam  - and determined to make an impact in the November elections.

"Thanks to you all."
Paul George, Chair
