Last night's meetup was even better than the
last one. Organized, energetic, productive.
Two women who volunteered to lead after the Feb. meetup put everything together for last night. Handouts, sign-up sheets, speakers. We heard from a person about writing letters to the editor, a representative from Senator candidate Barack Obama's campaign, and a rep. from
DL21C, a Democratic organization for 20- to 40-year-olds.
We were given many opportunities to connect with other Dems, and I met two newcomers, Paul and Hilda, who were in their 50's. They had heard about Meetup somehow, and it was great to meet them. I also bumped into Holle who I had met several times at Dean Meetups and during the Iowa Perfect Storm. Ah, Iowa.
