The Washington County Dems will once again be participating in UWWC’s “Milwaukee River Clean-Up” event.

This year the event will take place on Saturday, April 25th. The event starts at 9:00 AM in the WUWC parking lot with a sign-up, breakfast snacks, and a few speakers.

Volunteers will then move on to their clean-up sites. Our group will be working at Lac Lawrann. So, if you can’t make it by 9:00 AM, you are welcome to join us there at 300 Schmidt Road.

To sign up to work with our group, please contact Tanya Lohr at telohr@charter.net or 414-467-8469.

It’s important that we get a number of people to sign up for this important project!

Last week our Chair, Tanya Lohr, delivered the items that the Washington County Dems had collected for “The Family Center of Washington County” for our March Community Service Project.

They were thrilled with the items and kept exclaiming that they couldn’t believe how much stuff our group had donated.

NICE WORK EVERYONE!

The following event will take place at the Washington County Democratic Party Office located 132 North Main Street in West Bend.
