The following events will take place at the Washington County Democratic Party Office at 132 North Main Street, West Bend.

Wednesday, December 9th, 7:00 – 8:30 PM: COMMUNITY FORUM for “Understanding the New Voter I.D. Law in Wisconsin”

There is a new voter I.D. requirement at the polls and very few people understand the specific rules of this new law. We need to understand these new voter requirements so we can help and inform others.

In 2016, we will be electing the next U.S. President and one of Wisconsin’s U.S. Senators.

Our guest speaker, Anita Johnson, an organizer with Citizens Action of Wisconsin, will explain the new requirements of the new Wisconsin Voter I.D. Law.

Wednesday, December 16th, 7:00 – 8:30 PM: “December Membership Meeting” and “Holiday Party

Join us for our last meeting of 2015. Afterwards, we will enjoy some holiday cheer with treats, drinks and great conversation.

Bring a treat to share; beverages will be provided.

We have been asked to do our “Sock Drive” for the West Bend High Schools’ “Holiday Hope” event again this year. Last year, the socks we collected for students were a top hit at the vent and students spent a lot of time selecting just the right pair of socks.

Please drop off your sock donation at the Wash Dem Party Office at 132 North Main Street in West Bend. The socks are for teenagers—ages 14 to 18—so they should be in adult or teen sizes.

All donations are appreciated. Thank you for participating in this “Holiday Cheer” event.

Note: last day to bring in socks is Wednesday, December 9th; bring some along to the Community Forum meeting on the Voter I.D. that night

We currently have an opening for the 10:00 to noon shift at the Washington County Democratic Party Office at 132 North Main Street, West Bend. This shift is especially important as many holiday sh0ppers are downtown. 

If you can take this shift on a weekly basis OR are willing to split the shift with someone else for an every-other-week shift, please contact Stephen Roberts at 262-227-4640 or firststephen@att.net .

The UAW Local 883 workers at Kohler are on strike for fair pay and compensation.

Local 883 is currently looking for material and cash donations. Needs include baby items (diapers, wipes, lotions, etc.), non-perishable foods and other essential needs. Financial donations go directly into their strike fund which helps pay for the strikers’ health insurance and bills during the strike. 

Material and cash donations can be dropped off at the Washington County Democratic Party Office at 132 North Main Street in West Bend. Your donations will be delivered to Sheboygan on a regular basis.  Financial donations can be sent to UAW 833 Kohler Strike Fund, Emil Mazey Hall, 5425 Superior Avenue, Sheboygan, WI 53083.
